Personally, I find few Americans that can discuss much of anything with any real meaning. Far too self absorbed and America centered in their thought processes. So the “lack of grew matter” definitely resonates with me. Any subject relating to reality is deemed “too depressive, doomy and/or gloomy”. Now football, American Idol or as a retired high school principal informed me, “I’m much more interested in choosing my deck stain” are hot topics and can consume hours of senseless debate.
