KLP that's easy: <Can you name ANY other country on the face of the planet that has blended so many races, cultures, religions, and numbers of people as successfully? I can not.> That's easy. England. The USA is just an offshoot of England which has been independent for a while. The British Empire brought together people from around the world in the British Commonwealth, which is still going. England was the core of that [more or less a separate country]. The English blended a huge variety of races, cultures, religions and numbers of people. The achievements and benefits to the world are grossly under-rated. The USA is built on the achievements. Johny-come-lately USA is a rank beginner, but off to a reasonable start. Self-puffery by the USA is a bit tiresome, but most people in most countries are prone to a spot of that. There's plenty of it going on here, [with a lot less to justify it - even on a per capita basis]. Mqurice PS: Edit.... now I see Faultline banning posting. Cool, this'll be the Last Post....
