Oh dear this is NOT what I was intending at all, and a sincerely 
profound apology to you. I am in no means trying to offend anyone, 
though I can see that it may have come off that way.

May I point out that I am an American myself, and what I was trying 
to insinuate was that we can figure out things for ourselves instead 
of having them changed for us.  I  might also add that I didn't know 
what a Sorcerer's Stone/ Philiosopher's stone was when first reading 
the books nor was I very well knowledged about Alchemy.  I did 
however learn about these things from reading the books, and I think 
that so should others.

I would like officially retract the above statement.  The REAL truth 
is that no matter where one is from it is the choices that we make, 
our determination and our character that allows us to be successful.  
It does not matter what features one has.  The stereotype which I 
created was not only inappropriate but wrong, and shows very little 
of what I hope is my own character.
