I have one quibble, though. Our current course of coercion, aggression and secrecy cannot be sustained and cannot end well. Unfortunately, I've been thinking about this and rereading V for Vendetta and I have a feeling that it can, in fact, be sustained for quite a while. If America, as a people, cede more authority to the fascists Republicans-in-charge, who will be the shining city on the hill? Red China and Russia are finding authoritarian paths to economic power and the EU always has to walk a dangerous tightrope. But, yes, it won't end well. Perhaps there will be a V sometime in 2019 to rise up against President Jenna if things go on...
