Well Bill, it isn't a matter of reading minds. In this case, we all know
how Americans in general feel about themselves as a nation and the how they
fit in with the rest of the world. There is a strong feeling of arrogance
and superiority in this country. You know it as well as I do. If you
don't, then you are either very isolated or have chosen to block or filter
it out.
I have not met one fellow countryman who does not feel to some degree that
the US is above everyone else, and the world should be following the US and
the US the world. I do travel a lot on business, and have been all over the
country, and the beliefs are basically the same no matter what the region.
So, when I say everyone, American and other, on this list knows I right, I
mean it. Unless I am shown differently by many experiences that this has
changed, I will not change how I feel on this subject.
John

Gee, John, I'm so impressed that you can read everyone's mind.
