The flip side of American exceptionalism is that a lot of us have a habit of believing everyone else is a vile, manipulative, dangerous criminal just waiting to unleash hell. This includes children, hence the need to monitor, control, and contain right from the start. Therefore we need hall passes to keep the little bastards in line and guns to keep us safe from the big bastards. It’s possible we’re broken down here. I’d ask you to send us some Tim Horton’s by way of comfort but now I understand they’re owned by Burger King so I’m not even sure what might help.
