Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you about this. As critical as you are of the US, rightly so most of the time, you seem to sorta like the culture, at least part of it, or somehow someway. In the 10 years or so I've known you electronically, your politics have evolved from kind of theoretical and Leninist (at least in some sense) to much more activist & Green. Are you becoming Americanized? Is this a sort of antithesis to Japan? Or what?
