The American Culturett
There has been many wise men and women to quote about the absence of an American culture. Still there are many utterings of culture in this nation. To mention all of them they have Hollywood, Hamburgers and Hip Hop. The latter being when old people dress like babies, Hamburgers when you do not want to eat the boring stuff and add cheese to the good and the first is a well oiled machine that make a streamlined and well produced product of entertainment and pacification of the masses. It is not all bad even thought I can't help myself from flaming it. There are many parts of American life that is culture bearing and therefore we must acknowledge the American Culturett. I have constructed that word, using the diminutive of culture since there is a lack here of in the American States of United Ignorance. Other things that has been said and proven to be American are being nice and open to people without meaning it, being overly religious for their tech level (actually reversing evolution) and being loud without reason. Not very flattering traits. There is also a very strong willingness to identify your heritage and therefore ascribing yourself to another culture in this country. Which of course has to do with the history of this young nation. But all things taken together there is not much left to do than acknowledge the American Culturett.
