Quote: The worst mythology of America is a pursuit of rugged individual AT THE EXPENSE of others. . .and this is all too often how Americans are seen by the rest of the world, currently with the face of W. on that persona. I think this is a flaw in the system; look at any politician who succeeds�we will tolerate NO human flaws. . .thus they must all wear masks and lie. We love lies.
I believe we should personally take responsibility of own actions! We should be our own person, but not at the expense of others. One thing I take pride in our American democracy, it's initially at the will of the majority, but the minority also has a vote. Some of the world does see us as arrogant, but it's more out of jealousy. The majority of the world still wants to be part of the American Dream, why else do they keep flocking to our shores.
