Patrice: "When is this stupid cliche of America having no culture will stop? There is almost not a trend these days that does not originate there. And what can the old world do when most of its youth espouses uncritically anything coming out of the States?" Notice the two prevailing arguments: 1. America has no culture 2. America is destorying the culture of other nations to sell it's own I think this explains why the cliche persists. _____________________________________________________________ May peace be the founding unity of all ideologies.

This can only be accomplished if we all work together and if everyone counts. _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email@yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag
