I really wasn't trying to start an argument, just not being completely clear when disagreeing with a very specific part of his post. Mainly saying that he seems to believe that the culture of most Americans is indistinguishable from people overseas. That Americans are "just Europeans, Asians, and Africans" living in America. I suppose I muddled what he was saying about the mass media as part of it. But essentially my point still stands. Americans have a very distinct culture(s) and Tommy does not seem to see that.
I realize I was unclear in my original point. But who cares, this is what I'm trying to say.
