Tell you the truth, as a non-American, just your thought, let alone the question, is already an insult to me. You just don't get it do you?

Guess it depends on your benchmark: is it a Black suburb somewhere in the Bronx with a few foodstamps as freebies or is it Orange County, CA with a 24/7 electronic surveillance program?

I mean, did you read O-Zone, a superb novel by American author Paul Theroux? If you did then let me reformulate my concern: we, benighted aliens, shall we be allowed to relocate in a glass-and-concrete tower in New York --cheek by jowl with the Albrights-- or shall we be dumped carelessly into... O-Zone??

That's a tough question--- I would think that the prosperity that we know here would diminish considerably because of all the money that comes here from the exploitation of the poorer countries... I doubt very much that our wealth is because we are so much brighter and charming then the rest of the human race.... even though that's probably true <VBG>
