About This Quote
If our Founding Fathers wanted us to care about the rest of the world, they wouldn't have declared their independence from it. The Founding Fathers didn't want us to care about the rest of the world because they were in fact in favor of it. They wanted us to care about ourselves because there was nothing else for us to be concerned about. Of course, if we had been too greedy and thought we could take everything for ourselves (and the world), there really wasn't much we could do besides go after each other.
