There is a saying in America. "When everyone you meet is an asshole, you are probably the asshole". You may have a high, unreasonable standard, but you can't expect back what you aren't willing to give.

Conservative Mennonites aren't assholes. Japanese aren't assholes. The few Chinese that I know aren't assholes. All Americans that I know are assholes. All members of modern western culture that I know of are assholes.

All Americans that I know are assholes.

I am currently on a road trip and stopping in small towns I have seen surprising acts of decency by a few people. I had thought such things were extinct in America. What am I to make of this?

One of these things is not like the other.
