Boru

Generous and kind when he thinks It will indebt others to him, while half of him thinks beIng indebted to is his birthright and resents others for expecting some generosity and kindness before considering themselves indebted.

Well-meaning only because 2/3 of him thinks acts that can be portrayed as such will enable him to rule the Roost

Knowledgeable mainly in the sort of wishthink that 2/3 of him pretend to be knowledge, While 2/3 of him are more ignorant In what might pass as real knowledge than most other people’s 2/3s that had comparable access to knowledge

Inept and clumsy, and add to that egocentric and boorish, but half of him thinks ineptness, clumsiness, Outsized ego and boorishness is what makes him exceptionally great And ideologically pure, And therefore deserve to rule the roost what others in the roost thinks.

Americans donate a higher percentage of GDP to charitable organizations than any other country, almost twice as much as the next closest (NZ).  I'm not sure the case can be made that an American who donates to, for example, famine relief in African expects that N'goto Mbeke will somehow be indebted to him. And if he donates - without expectation of indebtedness or remittance - it's a safe bet that he's well-meaning.

Americans know lots of stuff. No further clarification required.

'Inept and clumsy' refers more to the American government than to individuals. Still well-meaning, though.

In my experience, the ego and boorishness applies mostly when Americans travel abroad. They're much nicer (and quieter) when they're at home.

(All statements made in this and my previous post are sweeping generalizations.  Thank you.)
