re: Washington Post reporter says shoplifting not a big deal because US built on ‘stolen land’

Pretty hard to claim that the USA isn't a moral country if you can't name at least one that has better morals.

Exactly.

If all she wants is for someone to say that compared to an ideal that can't exist until Jesus takes control of the world, the US has poor morals, o.k. We didn't need any evidence of that. It's self-evident. It's also self-evident that so is every other country that exists and has ever existed.

So what? Water is wet.

If she expects anyone to be impressed with that observation as being meaningful, it would stand to reason that she must mean it in terms relative to what actually exists, not an ideal that can't yet exist.

But she apparently doesn't mean that.
