Summer, sun, sandy beach, clear water, gentle waves.... Sounds like my days year round on the beach at Waikiki.

Lindy, I'm sure they do and it shows what a great job Uncle Green$pan and the political system and people making it happen in the USA have done for decade after decade. Maurice, One of the problems you, and other Foreigners have in understanding the USA is that you presume that it is just another country, like NA, or Australia, or Britain. As I have said before, The USA is the only country in the history of the world that was founded on an idea. It wasn't just a revolt against England, but a revolution based on the Enlightenment. (A philosophical movement of the 18th century that emphasized the use of reason to scrutinize previously accepted doctrines and traditions.) I think one of the best ways I can sum this up is to tell you that you can become an American, But I cannot become a New Zealander.
