It must be a coastal thing. The Northeast is relatively sane, and the Left Coast ought to apply for EU accession status. Driving across the US, I was struck by the volume of fundamentalist graffiti in the heartland -- that, and the strange, eerie cellphone towers, like the alien landing craft of 1950s sci-fi thrillers. It isn't surprising that the post-Imperial polity should react almost allergically to the specter of alien invaders, a.k.a. global creditors.
