Funny, I always thought the USA was founded on nationalism, war, conquest and division between races.
The English fighting the French fighting the Spanish and all fighting the indigenous population for ownership of land.
Add to that slavery. I'm surprised it hasn't already ripped itself apart.
Living in back water redneckville hasn't done much to change that impression either, considering the MIL was born only about 60 miles south from here and is considered a foreigner where we live. I expected me to be considered a foreigner but the MIL, a born and raised Virginian about an hour's drive away?

I remember the cheerio's commercial but haven't seen the coke one.
