Not to differ, but my experience is that the U.S. is actually much more diverse economically speaking than western Europe, and less so than Canada. For example, the level of poverty [materially speaking] that exists in parts of the U.S. simply cannot occur in Germany [at least in the past]. You just don't see 'bombed out' inner cities there... it's "not allowed" so to speak. I'm not saying one way [Germany vs here] is right, or one is wrong... just a point of view. What Canadians and Europeans do often miss however is that "The United States" is actually many worlds... one of which is 'third world'... they look and say: "look at these stats on health care, or income disparity, isn't it terrible." But then they [say Germany] don't see anything wrong with their relative wealth to that of Bulgaria for example because 'that's another country'. Boarders are false demarcations in many cases IMO. dAK
