don't think it is Americans or any other whole group. i am working on an experimental assumption that 9 out of 10 people are relatively worthless idiots. i find the upside is, even though difficult, you never know when you'll find the 1 out of 10 and, really, you can't tell by how they look or where they are from. also, how do i know which percentage i belong to? at least i know which percentage i aspire to.
