Gee, Tim, maybe you should change your title to "Byrne Robotics INSecurity".  Apparently, accepting personal responsibility for unintended consequences is something you frown on.  I believe I called for a cessation of hostilities in the post from which you partially quoted, so you can hardly accuse me of trying to "...(drag) this into the next day...". 

As for "...calling him in...", as you put it, I was merely surprised, and a bit disappointed, that Mike had not contributed to a thread the topic of which seemed practically tailor-made for him; that his sole participation thus far took the form of a tired and erroneous slam at me is regrettable. 

Now, I'll rephrase my request: can we all play nice, and please not further turn JB's sandbox into a litter box?

"The 1965 immigration act.
+++
Really? The act covers babies from outer space?!?
"

It defines what constitutes a citizen is, and being a baby from outerspace is not part of the criteria...so yes.

Though it is moot as in 1974, he was granted citizenship status of all United Nations member countries. So now I guess it is everyone BUT the United States.

(Sorry about the hotlink. I didn't know about that rule and the preview worked.)

Where does this American shame come from? Seems to be a recent trend, and I don't understand it.

If I may, i'd give my point of view. It use the american shame, but it's not aimed to america, as for itself, but as america, being a country (among others), with laws and such things as borders, culture and history.

This ideology want to cross country, continents, and want to turn it into economical markets and aeras.

When you see Arnold (and don’t get me wrong, i love his movies), after being Governator (of the US) now planning to go for the lead of the EU, i can only understand this as people being american when needed, and european when needed. So with no loyalty.

Break the country, wich mean, break the link that connect people, who gets them to go beyond their origins and difference but unite them to a same goal, and then you get individuals, lonely custumers.

And someone who feel lonely must have needs, to fill his emptyness.
The need is filled by buying. Anything.

Money money money.

For me, whether Superman fights for the American Way isn't even an issue anymore.

Telling good stories should be 'the issue' since Superman has been unreadable for over ten years. I'd say since JB left but I stuck with the book for a few years after and it was pretty good. But the past ten years have seen some really bad, shameful stuff. I've tried reading the book a few times and the random issues I picked up were so awful, I threw them away... in the garbage. And I come from a time when throwing away a comic -- any comic -- would have been sacrilege.

I couldn't even summon up the courage to give them away.
