As for the "hate", it is probably not so widespread outside the mass
media. It may be the inability to cope with the fact that other people
are no longer in awe with the so called "American way of life"


***The "American Way of Life" isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. Most 
Americans are up to their eyeballs in debt. The average American has almost 
$ 10,000 dollars of credit card debt. Add to that the mortgage, car payment, 
etc. and you can see that although it appears they have it all, they are 
usually struggling just to keep their heads above water. They tend to work 
60+ hours a week and think that's good and normal. Leisure and family have 
to take a back seat. Meals are drive-through fast food.
