Yeah, but you made a sweeping "general" statement about the US (>>I'm sure

which I was attempting to clarify for those who haven't been in "fly-over 
country" (the main part of the country, which is between the East and West 
Coasts, which is rarely featured in films or TV unless showing those of us who live 
in the Midwest, South or Southwest as "hicks" "rubes" or "people from Ohio" 
[pay attention to movies -- if they want someone to seem like a real ignoramus 
in the big city, that person will be from Ohio -- witness "The Out-of-Towners" 
where the people are from Ohio, as only one example).  It's actually only a 
very small percentage of the country where lots are tiny and land is expensive, 
when you consider the country as a whole.  That was my point.
