     No, they are Americans, too. Gosh, you went a little far with that one.

     Oh, I do. Please keep in mind I was sharing the post of another person, which is not the same as expressing my own thoughts. I would have said something more like, "Do not mistake the Presidency for America." Certainly, that is an honest reflection of the truth of our Constitutional Democracy and the Republic that it describes.

     I must admit, I wish I understood better your actual work. It would help me put any of this in the appropriate context. I understand you cannot really speak freely about specifics, but it makes these incidents hard to frame in the imagination (I am not a very abstract person... despite being a physicist).
