It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that the silver bullet lies somewhere between two extremes. However, history is replete with examples where, in fact, the proper solution lies on one extreme or the other, e.g. slavery, religious persecution, women’s suffrage, etc. All opinions are not equally rational, and irrational opinions should not be given a platform of argument with those opinions that are rational. The discerning mind will recognize the difference.

The U.S. should concentrate less on competition, and more on contemplation. It should be less reactive, and more reflective.
