The USA is like their old court Eunechs: people who can't do it themselves and want to castrate everyone else so they don't have to watch others doing it. Remember that it was a struggle for power by the eunuchs that was responsible for the Chinese withdrawing from exploration and burning all large ships and making it a capital offense to build one. Is that what kind of country we are becoming?
