Actually, I don't think this is a good analogy on the basis of, blood
cells don't think. I have considered this problem, and am coming to the
conclusion that this possible entity, communicates through the press,
dictionaries ( as Marie trusts), and other yardsticks of culture and
language. i am sure there is the Mob mentality of disorganized groups.
But is the a U.S. of A. entity that acts more rationally than the mob
entity?
I know this is way out speculation - So I don't know if I even expect a
serious answer.
