Personally I like tradition and I think Americans are envious of our heritage, more so than the Royalty, as the USA is a much newer nation in comparison. I love the fact that we can still see structures from centuries ago and even older and trace our roots so far back. I am amazed how many american tourists claim links back to Britain. The whole country must have emigrated over on the Mayflower!

I am glad Americans started to realise the native american indian is an imporatnt part of your heritage, as they always seemed to get a raw deal in your mainstream culture. As for my school life, after a few years it changed. If I had let them though, things would have been very different. What I did find unusual was that the jews were the worst offenders, as they seem to dislike catholics in general, despite the fact I have never practised. I would have thought the Holocaust would have made them more understanding of bigotry, but a group of kids were terrible until I was forced to deck one. Believe me it was a last resort as I am not violent. Luckily it didn't tarnish my viewpoint and I am not anti-jew, in fact I dated an orthodox girl, much to her grandparents disgust.

Nah, Stealthy, it is the CUTE accent! Hi, Epona!
