Searle,

Here's another fascinating insight into "just folks"....

Russian Foreign Exchange Student Vladlena Kedrova mentions many cultural similarities between Cannelton USA and Volgograd Russia as well.

“In both places, there are many people who are alcoholics and have given up hope of having a better life.
The only difference is that Russians are well read and don't like auto-racing so much or have big four-wheel drive vehicles with ‘Git-R-Done’ stickers on them.”

***
Maybe after 10 years of getting our asses kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan we'll have to sell off the four-wheel drives and take up reading.... It would sure be a cultural improvement.
