This is typically American answer I would say...and you are in title of it. All though this way of thinking (especially when it becomes policy ), shortsighted, blatant, unrefined usually have harsh consequences in a long run...not to mention that it is utterly stupid and fruitless... I am saying this even in chance I may offend you or other Americans...Free speech and all that, you know... I still hope you are joking just to make a point...and I am just not sensitive for that kind of humor I guess...
