Americans have little to no respect for their history and seem, in general, to be soft intellectually, morally, spiritually, and even physically. But I think it is the generation of which we are, unfortunately, a part. The Boom Generation mewls at every turn, a pathetic plaint when needs and want s are not immediately indulged. Here the malaise is a squirming, cranky, infantile failure to stand with a straight back and do the difficult thing - including thinking deeply or on many cases, thinking at all. I wonder if it is better anywhere else and I think, probably not. Having lived in the US now for almost 7 years I can report that I find the culture disappointing in general.
