RE: What Is An American?

[Wally Kairuz]

linda and the rest,
i know your intentions are good and i know that many of the things in the
message you forwarded are not necessarily false but the whole thing is
rather ethnocentric and possibly insulting to many of us who are not
americans. to sustain that ''it is good thus it is american'' is even more
of a disservice to US and non-us people alike than is the more usual ''it is
american thus it is good''.
as i said before, no offense intended and none taken, but frankly...
