Black is white and green is red. Let's rewrite a little history while we're at it. They might argue that Truth is a matter of perspective.

Hank: agreed. Americans desperately need to face the problems which will challenge our country in the 21st century. We have to stop being the world bully and stop pretending that we "create reality." Reality will slap us around and not be polite about it.

Amen to that, Matt.
