Vonnegut writes, "We are hated because our corporations have been the
principal deliverers and imposers of new technologies and economic schemes
that have wrecked the self-respect, the cultures of men, women and children
in so many other societies."

Morris writes "Vonnegut is full of shit," explaining "America is hated
primarily because of its superiority of power.  THAT is what wrecks the
self-respect of third-world countries dominated by theologies which tell
them that THEY should be the rulers of the earth."

Frankly, I don't see much of a difference between Vonnegut and Morris here.
Should I conclude that they're both full of shit?  

I don't think so.
