Stephan:   How do you feel having the United States admonished by the U.N. for being a country with a police brutality problem that needs to be addressed? Is that  the United States as you think it should be? I was angry and disgusted. The U.N. is right. I could fill SR every day with stories of children shot, pregnant women slammed to the ground, old men shot in their homes as the blackshirts break in at 2 a.m. in full military gear -- to the wrong house because of a typo on a piece of paper. Happily it has gotten so bad that I think ordinary people are finally pushing back. The Department of Transportation reports that one out of five Americans have never flown on a commercial airliner. Youth and child rates are, of course, even higher. Net: a large part of the American population have never flown. They have little to no idea what people outside of the U.S. think about us. Those of us who have travelled have been watching the decline of affection and respect people have for America for more than 30 years, starting with the Viet Nam war.
