This post is a great example of the American/western mentality- Which I feel is a direct result of the way in which we are brought-up/educated.

From a very early age we are taught using a methodology that focuses on the discrimination of that which is different or 'other than'- "Which one of these pictures is different from the others?" type stuff- We are thus hard-wired from an early age to seek-out the outlier- rather than focusing on what makes things similar- it is the likely source of a good majority of prejudices and the inclination of the 'us vs. them' mentality we see in our political system etc.

Instead of seeing that which is true in the OP's post, the AC has chosen to focus on the mistake. It's not your fault AC, your teachers and parents have failed you... but as a sentient adult, it is up to YOU (and only you, as promoted in this post) to overcome and move forward.
