#1 I would agree with everything but the "selfish hedonism" part. Granted, the Euros screw up selfish hedonism, but a lot of Americans do it right, and to considerable profit. Even at our most swinish, we still consistently do it better than they do. Take the Internet, for example. A virtual "Wild West" of bad behavior, with minimal taxation, supervision or government control. Surely the apex of selfish hedonism (and liberty.)
