I was quite surprised when a Mexican pointed out to me, "Hey, we are Americans too!" So if North and South Americans are Americans, then what are residents of the USA? USA-ers? USers? Users? (that would be Canadians with their pot law! - laugh! no flame!)...Seriously, aside from American, what specifically identifies a USA person? CM

I think it is entirely appropriate to poke fun at the folks in the USA that think they alone are "Americans". What about Canada? And Mexico? They are both even in _North_ America. What about all of central and south America? They should all qualify for the term "American" just as much as people from Japan, China, Korea, etc. can all be called "Asian". America is a _continent_ not a country!! So if Ernest uses self-imposed miss-label in a less than flattering fasion, I think it is eminently suitable. -- Philip, a proud patriot of the USA _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -2006 GSD, "Anke" -1985 300SD, 217K, "Wulf" -1982 300Dt, 117K, "little blue klatter box" -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!
