I'll take this place, any day. I remember this picture I saw on the New Yorker once, showing the view of the west coast [of the US] from the east, losing detail with distance - it was meant to be funny, and it was. You have the same simplistic view of this country, driven by the media story being fed you. Its a complicated place, a big place, and exceptionally active. So, yeah, be gullible, get sucked in by all the media stories, and miss the forest for the trees. PT Barnum would love you.
