As was noted centuries ago by a French-American writer when he moved to the the North American continent:
"A pleasing uniformity of decent competence appears throughout our habitations."
(J. Hector St. John De Crevecoeur, "What Is An American?". 1781.)
Unfortunately, now that corporations have a complete stranglehold on this observation, we are on the road to boring (or on the road to nowhere, if you like the Talking Heads song).
