Proud Americans

18

Americans are proud to be Americans. But each individual will explain that he, personally, is not like the other Americans. He is better.

Americans are proud to be different from each other and from the world. There is no such thing as a plain American.

Every American is a hyphenated American. And a American will say, "I am a Polish." or "I am an Italian." Because his great grandparents were born in Poland or Italy, a spirit of rug individualism proveeds virtually every aspect of American life. American's heroes are outlaws, like wild west gunfighter Jazz Janes, or entrepreneur like Samuel Watten, founder of the Walmalt chain of super stores. Every American worker has fantasies of one day going into business of himself.
