But what is the statute of limitations that self flagellation can be imposed on oneself? It is not going to change anything although we all realize what was. I do not see anyone who has pure guilt giving up all their wealth to others who have very little domestically and in foreign lands. The self flagellation continues unabated though.
My point is that we need to quit pretending we are better. We are not.
I disagree. In one very important way, we are at least somewhat better. The US Constitution. Because of the freedoms that didn't exist in other nations at the time it was created, millions have fled their homelands and flowed here from military Juntas, communist nations, socialist nations and authoritarian nations, seeking the freedoms in the Constitution. So, enjoy your freedoms, continue to speak freely, hug your friends, go to your favorite restaurant/diner and lift a glass in a toast to those you love.
Nobody is free while Donald Trump can threaten people with impunity.
Most cross-cultural researchers believe that a specific culture’s values are often related to the natural resources available in a certain geographic region. For example,
a. when there are few natural resources, people may work more competitively.
b. when there are many natural resources, people become less interdependent.
c. when there are many natural resources, people become less independent.
d. when there are few natural resources, people become more interdependent.
Corruption has now been legitimized by the cowardice of GOP Senators in the Trump impeachment.
Abuse of power was not ok, before GOP Senators made it OK.

Obstruction of Congress and obstruction of oversight of the POTUS was not OK before GOP Senators made it OK.
I've said this in other posts:
1. The Socialist (so-called Democrat party) did not follow Impeachment protocol and by doing so, they lost credibility.
2. The Socialist party refused to allow Republicans to call their own witnesses.
3. The witnesses the Socialist party brought forth, were giving their "opinion" on what they believed and others told them (heresay).
4. The Republicans were allowed half the time as the Socialists to question those presented as so-called witnesses.
5. The Socialists case was so vague, they couldn't make up their minds as to what the charges would be until the last minute.
6. The Socialists finally claimed "abuse of power," as Trump would no longer cooperate with their witch hunt and invoked Executive Privelege (a right of the Executive Branch, which includes those in his administration).
7. The Socialists called their so-called witnesses to the basement of the Capitol for discussion of the case, refusing to allow the Republicans the right to hear the witnesses, a violation of Impeachment protocol.
Once it was "eventually" sent over to the Senate, the Socialists got what they deserved, no witnesses allowed.
You know as well as everybody else, your party has, from day one, threatened to impeach him simply because he won the presidential election via the Electoral vote, which is how we elect presidents. Thirty two million dollars of taxpayer money, 2800 subpoenas and 500 warrants via the Mueller Report, only confirmed what was known all along...."No Russian Collusion."
As for any Quid-pro-Quo, all presidents have done it. The ones you clowns should be looking at, are Joe and Hunter Biden.
As for who might be more of a threat to our Constitution....Socialists and Communists (one and the same as far as I'm concerned).
As for natural resources: Your party's stance:
No borders. Let millions in without vetting. Result:
Those millions need more resources. More land upon which to live. Less habitat for wildlife. More houses, condos, apartments, business buildings, parking lots, streets, sidewalks, malls, traffic and more small farms subdivided and sold for sprawl, meaning less farms producing produce.
As to the "no-vetting" of those flowing in: criminals fleeing prosecution in the own nations, sex-traffickers, drug-cartel members, murderers, thieves, rapists and potential terrorists. Hey, but that's okay with you, it's more important to be inclusive than reduce the chance of the citizens becoming victims to your goals.
Your ultimate goal: 1. Disarm the public. 2. Shred the rights in the Constitution. 3. Implement strict Socialist/Communist draconian laws.
4. Per Bernie Sanders field operatives, implement gulags, re-education camps and kill people that resist.
That's your party's idea of the US.
