I don't think you fully grokked the word suppose at the end of my big ol' sentence? Everything I reference comes from the daily onslaught I receive inferring (either by allusion or direct condemnation) that I am a bad person because I BBQ (often), use a 2-stroke string trimmer, have owned guns and shot them, drive rather than walk or bike, and don't ball up in the thumbsucking fetal position asking to be forgiven for my envirosins over the thought that........ it might get a couple degrees warmer sometime over the next 55 years. (Meaning at the end of my life I might not have to migrate south in the winter and perhaps can start my tomatoes a month earlier in New England.)

So again, what makes you think I am saying Americans are awful in any way at all? Indeed I am not, the above was sarcasm but perhaps it was with too fine a point. (Although I personally thought it was a bludgeon.)

Yep, gotta admit, I missed the sarcasm. Even going back and looking again, I see your 'supposedly' but still didn't quite make the connection. However, point taken. My remarks are clearly not meant for you, my apologies.
