Good discussion about American Culture on Slashdot

I was a bit more, um... "direct" than I am normally.  I probably stuck my foot in my mouth a couple times, but...

Last week I wrote quite a bit - almost a good essay's worth - of stuff about the moral culture of the United States.  Given the impending election, I thought I would post a link to the writing/discussion on the Slashdot story "Is Silicon Vally Morally Bankrupt and Toxic?"

The gist of the discussion is that the culture of conflict combined with a culture of consumerist capitalism in America is morally bankrupt.  This culture is one of the reasons getting rid of racism in America is so hard.  Have fun with the read and let me know here what you think!

(By the way, on Slashdot I go by the handle "under_score").
