I've lived in America my entire life. Ventured out of the country a couple of times.
I still grapple with the "meaning" of this place, what it "stands for," always trying to decipher the code, the soul of the thing.
Guns, bibles and a deep, finely-honed, class resentment seem to be fundamentals to the whole shebang...
And those who deny there are "classes" of people in America are just playing a game.
Violence, fundamentalism and a deeply-embedded, smoldering class envy/camouflaged war... that's the America I know!
