WHY and HOW America is Unique in the Universe

We are NOTHING like the rest of the world. Oh, some areas have some of our attributes, it's true.

But, no other place is so filled with anti-authority, improvising, laid-back and UN-socially conscious, mind your own business (and, yet, note those in need, and bring help without being asked), and just DIFFERENT people.

It's not genetics, although, certainly, several groups have added their own delightfully piquant idiosyncrasies to the mix - German, Polish, & Dutch stubbornness, Irish & Korean hot-headedness and willingness to get into the fight - any fight, easy-going Scandinavian temperament, Mediterranean passion - all have brought their heritage into the culture. And, yet, despite the differences, they always held to the same basic principles:

• Even if they don't look or act just like you, they're Americans. Besides, foreigners have great food.
• No person is 'better' than you by birth. Nor, are YOU better. Not even politicians are an exception to this rule, as they will prove if you elect them.
• There is nothing disgraceful about working with your own hands. There is nothing noble about forcing others to work for you.
• Education, while useful, cannot replace experience.
• Everyone deserves a chance - sometimes, several chances.
• Don't carry a grudge. Forgive and move on.
• Marry/have children using exogamy - outside your familial genetic pool.
• If opportunity arises, even if it requires moving to unknown territory, get goin'. Don't let family obligations tie you to the ancestral region.
• Don't start wars over religion. Just take comfort in the fact those disbelievers will go to Hell. And, don't gloat about it openly.
• Everyone gets a vote. No one can tell you how to vote. Chicago is an exception to this rule.
• It's nobody's business what you do, unless you're breaking the law. On the other hand, don't expect their help if you refuse to conform to the norm.
• When asked, lend a hand. Volunteer to help, if you can.

Not in this world - and, I think, never in the universe.

Sarah A. Hoyt brings back a post from long ago, that is sorely needed today. We need to be reminded of just how special we are, and take heart in the fact that this difference will lead us out of this time of trouble.

My first experience with other nationalities was in grade school. At that time, Cleveland, OH, was Immigrant Central for post-WWII refugees. There was hardly a country on the planet that hadn't a child representing it at my school.

In college, I attended the local community college for the first two years (it actually took a little longer, as I started part-time). There, I met students of every nationality, culminating in a Comparative Religions class.

Foreign students would ask: What do Christians believe about X?

They just couldn't understand that the true answer was, It Depends. They were used to religions that TOLD their adherents what to believe, about every facet of life. The idea that most of life's decisions, among believers as well as the UnGodly, were up to the individual, was incomprehensible to them.

I got to know several of the students, and found it fascinating that so many expected to marry the person their family chose. The idea - the concept - of making your own choice was NOT an option.

And, yet, although they often were unhappy about their family's choice, they did not rebel. I later found that this was related to the intertwined nature of family - your mother-in-law might also be your cousin's sister, and your aunt, as well. Many family trees in other countries don't fork much. It causes some of the hereditary illnesses and genetic defects that hobble their populations.

But, it's more than the family obligations. It's also the idea that rebelling against a ruler is very serious (he'll likely toss not only you, but most of your family, in jail - and, those jails are NOT as nice as though pictured on Orange is the New Black). To act alone is suicidal. Even those banding together are risking everything, and only done when they think the ruler is weak, and can safely be overthrown.

So, when they come to America, and see us taking to the streets to protest, shooting off our mouths in public, and disparaging those who've been elected to TEMPORARILY be in charge, well, they think we're ripe for revolution.

Nah. We're just being ourselves. Ornery. Difficult/Impossible to rule. Not inclined to give respect to A$$holes, even if they are governor or mayor.

And, yet, America works. In times of crisis, we band together, and feed the hungry, care for the helpless, and go about our business. We don't wait until we have permission to do so. We decide. We take charge of our own lives.

And, it drives the Leftists CRAZY.
