Of course, if you would just email me any questions at bhutchen@uni.uiuc.edu, that would be great. Although, I have to warn you, I am not an expert on this subject. I do have my own opinions, and I know of several other incidences of American folly, but your paper should also include some research through credible sources. Feel free to quote my column, and, once again, if you have any questions or want to hear my views on the subject, feel free to email me.
