Well pardon me if I believe in the American people more than you you do. I said these problems aren't uniquely American. But maybe I think America's unique position in recent history gives us the ability to essentially save the world and create the Harmonium, but instead, we are doing explicitly the reverse of that.

Oh I do believe in the American people. I am not sure why you think I don't.
I just don't believe in criticizing America for something as silly as "they couldn't end war and poverty single-handedly".
I am simply saying you need to be careful when trying to approach a problem like "solving all poverty". Nobody has ever done it, and generally speaking trying to do so makes things worse. I don't want America to collapse simply because we reached too far. Remember the story of Icarus.
Lets solve abortion first, which is much easier, and will set a good example for the rest of the world too!
