Because of my politics, people think I'm anti-American. But I was quite the reverse. What I don't like about the United States is when the government acts like an old, imperial 18th- or 19th-century European power.

Government at all levels in the USA right now is engaged in a quixotic campaign to sustain the unsustainable.
