On Greatness

America cannot be both great and unjust. America can be strong and unjust, but that's a common bully, and unworthy of admiration.

For America to be great Americans must be great, and as long as Americans cheerlead the suffering of others then America is very far from greatness.

The man I hold most responsible for the American decline of greatness is president Bush, who strikes me as being in his last throes but who will no doubt spend every remaining day of his tenure hostile to human decency.

I find him tiresome as he uses his time blaming homosexuals for the high divorce rates of Bible-belt Christians. He looks small, petulant, unimaginative, and the opposite of a great leader to me.
