I'm no fan of our current foreign policy myself. But it is still rather insulting in many circles that you paint all Americans as being rednecks like you just did. IMHO, the problem with blunting everything down to the point that there is no chance of making anyone, anywhere in the world even slightly uncomfortable, is that the inevitable result is a bland, boring, completely uninteresting product. Yes, we need to be careful to avoid major cultural and religious blunders, but do we really want to be as boring as Microsoft? So, we're all rednecks. When are we going to see a NASCAR stock car in Fedora livery?
