You probably don't comprehand the subtle and fragile nature of existing balance and complex system with millions inner mutual links you want to correct. You accustomed to the comfort and safety so that you can not understand and esteem the invisible continious efforts for supporting the today situation in the US. Like the child who's never seen the bonfire you think it's good idea to play with the matches by the hay barn. "There will happen nothing bad, if I only carefully kindle one small match for a second" - you think. So we lived in the USSR and thought that the very idea of war on our territory was fantastic. The idealism is the most expensive thing that everyone can't help paying.
