Actually I always find it amazing that "Americans" are always lumped together as if there is "ONE" mentality and culture. Look at the size of countries in Europe... Germany, Italy, Poland, England.. and look at the diversity of cultures.

You see MUCH the same thing over here in America, just unified under one label.

The "cultures" of Inner City New York, Orlando, Florida, Hollywood, California, and Maine are all excellent examples of culture differences because of the sheer size of our country. There are local "customs" that are not the same from place to place, and you could easily spot and place a picture from each location, just as you could place a picture from Germany, England, or Italy.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
