<<Some people like to mouth off about 'yankee know-how' and 'American
leadership in technology', but now it seems the only thing we are the
clear leader in is pop culture.>>

I totally agree. It makes me sick. :)

<<I once read an essay suggesting that the reason that American
entertainment products are popular in so many different cultures is
that American culture, from which the entertainment products originated,
is made of pieces from all different cultures.>>

Right, and I dig that. I like the whole 'melting-pot' theory. I just
hate the pop-culture. It can get quite annoying.
