"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.

Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
