And thus you have failed to grasp everything you have been told.


I can't make up my mind whether Arny is being deliberately obtuse as a

look ridiculous whichever is true. I also never realised just what a
typical
American he is with his blind belief in the American myth.

It is all a result of their extreme parochialism. I can't remember the
numbers, but I do remember being deeply shocked at how many of them
have never owned a passport, for example.

A EU/USA comparison survey gave the percentage
of US citizens without a passport at 34%. This does not
include the 12 million illegal immigrants who have no citizenship
or passport entitlement.

Revealing too was the fact that 55 million had no bank
account or bank card, due to their inability to "understand
the complexity of the ATM"
