Interesting take. Made my twisted mind think of this -- Some comedian should do a video, dressing in 18th century garb to impersonate de Tocqueville. Start by reading from his writings extolling the new country and its bill of rights. Then ominous music. Then de Tocqueville reappears looking near death and terribly troubled and shouts in half English, half French: "mais non, bon dieu, you stupide culs just had to fuck it all up".
