Hello Russ,

Okay, so citizens should be aware of the diversity of countries in the world and should be respectful that each country has its own distinctive tastes and traditions and preferences, its own way of doing things going back decades or centuries.

And, so okay, armed with that deep respect for cultural diversity among the hundreds of countries around the world, the first thing we need to do is to point fingers at the United States of America and judge her as a backwards, nearsighted, self-absorbed nation of blind parochialism, badly needing to be brought in line with a more outward-looking view of curiosity.

Some would see some irony in the above...
