Obviously that is a stretch. However, I went to the Kentucky Derby, and there is something awfully appealing about hanging out the rest of your life on the miranda drinking mint julips. However, I don't know if it is the culture, it might be the weather. I believe warmer weather produces lazier people. Being a native of California, I can attest to the fact that I am lazy as hell.
I think there is something to be said about first generation Americans. Immigrants are always movtivated and highly productive. They really keep the economic engine going. However, thier children are usually seduced by the American culture, start watching MTV and eating Cheetos. The problem for African Americans, is they did not get that first Generation bounce.
We need immigration to bring in the next captains of industry so the rest of us can keep can keep riding our lounge chairs.
