Since I am called twice in your essay, please let me say a few here even though it is not yet ready for review.

First, i am impressed with your last part writing about "monster". it answers well my question in my essay ("Question is how" - i deleted that sentence in the revised version before reading your paper). I agree that it is not easy to find the optimal balance between a monopolistic power and competing insurgents.

I sometimes become pessimistic how we can improve the world. However, I believe that this nation, U.S., has power to create something new and to challenge monsters always.

Rather, I am more concerned about those societies which do not have this counter-culture or anti-mainstream mentality.

Thank you, Brian, for carefully reading my paper. Your paper gives me some encouragement.
