      It’s all through the book. I also have a copy on my bookshelf and have read it.

      I guess to be clear, I’m not referring to America alone in my response and even though his observations were largely on America what he writes about can be applied generally.

      One simple example is how he states something like “I don’t know if America would vote the best people if they ran for office. We know they exist but they clearly don’t enter politics.”

      It’s an extremely polite way to say “we aren’t getting the best or brightest running for office but that’s ok cause we’re so fucking dumb we probably wouldn’t vote for them anyways.”

        It sounds like the man was writing in English, no? Why assume his meaning was other than what he said?
