Hi Platt,

To some extent this is true, profound really.  But where the rub lies 
is between individual and social responsibility.  I cannot so easily 
forget the violence and killing being done in my name as 
citizen.  I've given up a shitload of nationalistic static quality 
because of it, yet I still experience an attachment to the suffering 
of others.
