| I think if we were to look at the mainstream part of eather society we would find that they are largely the same. Sure Americans may believe Evil is something that must be rid from the world. Europeans belive largely the same thing, they just call that evil, Aids, social disparity among a plethora of other titles, it doesnt make the US wrong, as a matter of fact it just shows they are right.
I think the most telling part of the article was at the end when the author admitted he drove a gas guzzling "tank" when he was in the USA. If he was as socialist as he likes to portray himself, he would have rented a smaller more efficient car, apparently his environmental values didnt cross the atlantic with him. I dont mean to critize the authors choices only to point out that if the two sides of the atlantic were as different as he seems to think he likely would never have gone to Denver and having gone their would have retained some of the important social distinctions that he seems so sure exist.
As a side not I don't think Denver is the most liberal part of America, so he also only saw one part of a diverse nation. |
