This mirrors my beliefs very closely, but I don't think explaining the violent nature of American society is that simple. It all goes back to Puritanism, if you ask me. If there is any scourge that I could retroactively eliminate from the world, that would be it. It was a society based entirely on fear, hatred of women, abuse of native peoples, and constantly focusing on the evil in your fellow man. The terrible thing is that we are still dealing with the fallout from it, even three hundred years on. Now more than ever, perhaps.
