If what you have is already paternalism, why not go for adult paternalism? I would also make sure they had plenty of dope to smoke and no liquor.

Foreign policy should not be conducted to please people whose needs for aggressive and violent spectacle are just as well met by bad action adventure movies. Hey, maybe a vanguardist party could secretly take over the US, give these morons income subsidies and free cable TV, and broadcast bogus war footage into their homes. They'd never know the difference, and then the grown-ups could take care of matters.

People would still think I'm an ass unless I actually live up to the endorsements. That lesson was missed by the unapologetic one. I could endorse a whole bunch of things.
