Ain't That America

[Gvac]

Let's face it - this is an incredibly diverse country. The sheer size of it guarantees that, not to mention all of the different nationalities that emigrated from their home countries to come here.

Is there any one thing that all Americans share, though? One trait that no matter where in the world one of us was, the people could immediately identify us as an American?

"Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost, and will never lose a war... because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans."

The ancestors of the banjo were gourd instruments from west africa, but the actually banjo is american. Ironically, it has become such a part of irish music that many believe it is irish in origin

Yes. We can all agree that Angus Young looks stupid in those shorts.
