Appear imperialistic??

The lack of awareness among Americans of how others perceive America is truly astounding. No offense to you Rotorgun.

The contrasts within the country are even more astounding. I find it amazing it all holds together, or even wants to!

That said, I know that there are enlightened and outward looking (not just predatorialy ) people within the USA. I would be more frustrated as one of them on the inside than, as I am (not American) on the outside where I can do nothing...
