Robert, you're not wrong, just geographically challenged.

Before you were born, you sat down with the Angels and a choice between easy and hard. You chose easy and were born in the West. But you weren't a schmuck and you felt a bit guilty, so you chose the Western setting with the school shootings, lack of universal Healthcare and the zany politics.

I confess, I chose Australia instead. Not as strong as you. So I watch your mental angst with some popcorn, some raised eyebrows and occasionally some sympathy while we quote " there but by the grace of God go I "
