Ontogenesis
Pin hole video camera footage intercepts processed footage of American patriotism -- the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam, waving flags, bombs dropping, chronicling war after war after war, where technological superiority translates into "might makes right" and history repeats itself. "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny".
