2. According to which Americans?
Not me ... not any of the people I know.

Be careful, down that way is bigotry.

Keep in mind that GW Bush is president.

7. He who knows not..
And knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him -Persian aphorism

Americans don't know that they don't know.

9. You're an American ... are you the only exception?
Had you considered, for a moment, you might be the dumb one? MAYBE 300 million people aren't all
wrong, maybe it's your perception? ;)

10. 300 million people aren't any one thing
If you succumb to one form of bigotry, you're capable of all of them.

8. If you're smart enough to detemine we aren't smart
... how is it you don't know about Diebold?

Beyond which fact, Bush was "elected" (even if you prefer fantasy and believe Diebold) by the minority of
Americans.

The same lack of reason that leads a person to one form of bigotry, leads them to all. If you're capable of
one, you're capable of all of them. All bigots think they have good reason for their prejudices.

11. To a real American
The United States is the world.

Everything else is just Tijuana with different languages here and there.
