THE BEST THING ABOUT AMERICA IS THAT IT REPRESENTS A GLOBAL CULTURE...
AMERICAN CULTURE IS UNLIKE ANYTHING THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN ...SINCE PERHAPS ROME...
AMERICANS ARE NOT SLAVISHLY BOUND TO A CERTAIN NATION-STATE...OR A CERTAIN RACE OR GENE POOL...
OR A CERTAIN HISTORY OR CULTURAL HERITAGE...LIKE OTHER PLACES ON THE GLOBE
THE AMERICAN CULTURE IS A UNIVERSAL CULTURE... ANYONE CAN BE AN AMERICAN... ALL THEY NEED IS THE DESIRE AND PERHAPS A CUBS HAT...AND THEY ARE IN...
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH...
EVERYONE CAN'T BECOME JAPANESE, CHINESE, RUSSIAN OR A GERMAN... THERE ARE LARGE BARRIERS TO ENTRY IN THOSE NATIONAL CULTURES THAT SIMPLY CAN NOT BE OVERCOME...NO MATTER WHAT...
YES, THESE HOMOGENEOUS SOCIETIES HAVE THINGS THAT AMERICANS DON'T HAVE... A CERTAIN UNITY OF PURPOSE...A COMMONALITY OF ORIGINS...A SHARED HISTORY.
AND IT IS SORT OF REASSURING TO KNOW THAT EVERYONE YOU WILL MEET DURING ANY GIVEN DAY WILL BE "LIKE YOU"...AND EVEN "LOOK LIKE" YOU... NEARLY THE SAME GENETICALLY, CULTURALLY, RELIGIOUSLY...
I HAVE FELT THIS BOUND OF C0-NATIONALITY MYSELF ....AND IT'S DULLNESS!
BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO A CERTAIN BOREDOM IN THESE EXTREMELY HOMOGENEOUS SOCIETIES... WHY?
WELL EVENTUALLY YOU GE SICK OF ONLY SEEING PEOPLE WHO COULD BE AND PROBABLY ARE YOUR FIFTH COUSINS THREE TIMES REMOVED... NO ONE IS DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE IN THESE SOCIETIES...
IT'S DULL...VERY DULL THERE IS NO EDGINESS...NO VARIETY...AND WELL, YES,....NO ONE TO FEEL SUPERIOR TO AND HATE...
THANK GOD FOR DIVERSITY...IT SUPPLIES AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT TO THE HUMAN CONDITION...A MINORITY TO HATE!
THIS BOREDOM OF ONLY "HANGING OUT WITH" YOUR COUSINS IS WHY MANY "FOREIGNERS" EMBRACE THE DIVERSE AMERICAN CULTURE...
AMERICAN CULTURE IS THE EXCITING GLUE THAT HOLDS THE WORLD TOGETHER...
AMERICA IS THE UNIVERSAL DONOR...THE TYPE "O" BLOOD OF CULTURAL GLOBALISM...
AND OUR LAST BEST HOPE FOR PEACE.
THE ELECTION OF OBAMA WAS A MAJOR BOOST TO THE AMERICAN CULTURE AS AN INTERNATIONAL "BRAND"...
LET US HOPE THAT AMERICAN CULTURE SURVIVES...EVEN IF THE ECONOMY IS DESTINE FOR HARD TIMES...
BECAUSE REMEMBER...
AMERICA'S AMAZING UNIVERSAL CULTURE IS ONE THING THAT CAN NOT BE SENT TO CHINA... NO MATTER HOW GREEDY WALL STREET GETS....!
AND YES...
EVEN THE HATEFUL REPUBLICANS AND THEIR STUPID JESUS FREAKS IN FLY OVER COUNTRY ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR ONE OF A KIND AMERICAN CULTURAL MATRIX...
LEST WE FORGET...
