It's amazing how prejudices and misinformation fly.

I read an article by a French guy - supposed to be a world-famous
scholar -
about cultural differences between French and Americans. He said (I
paraphrase) "France is basically an agricultural society, so French
understand
that it can't rain every day, and that a good year is likely to be
followed by
a poorer year, hence their conservatism - Americans slaughtered the
Indians
and that explains everything you need to know about them".


I like this guy..whoever he is.
