USA?

For a mental exercise, let us assume that Rosenstock-Huessy's thesis (see prior post) is true: What does this imply about the United States of America?

I'm thinking about our concrete-past, e.g., Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, military Drones, same-sex marriage, Iraq (Shock-and-Awe)/Afghanistan wars, Roe v. Wade!!! (that case was decided on January 22, 1973 ... 40 concrete years of baby murder), Vietnam war, the Manhattan Project (and subsequent decision to use that technology on civilian populations in Japan), Manifest Destiny + Civil War+Post-Civil War Manifest Destiny (i.e., first implementation of All-out-War practices, then its re-implementation) ... Events, to name a few, from our concrete-past.
