Peculiar folks those Americans. Though I've never been there I learned
something about them. Most of it by reading newsgroups.
Although they did not invent the computer they have a typical binary way of
ordering their society. There are two groups, the white and the black. The
whites, often called Caucasians, have their roots mainly in western Europe.
All others are considered to be black. Some subgroup off blacks named
themselves Afro-Americans although a lot of them may not even know what
Africa is or where to find it. But even if they find it out some day, I
doubt they want to go and live there. One real Afro-American is running
around at the moment. He is a real Afro-American because he has a black
African father and a white American mother. He is, of course, considered to
be black. He has to do something in politics but nobody, even he himself,
seems to know exactly what he does.
Speaking politics, there are also two groups. The leftist weenies and the
rightist braves. The leftist spent the money the rightist earn - or so they
say. As America is said to be a democracy, the main peoples representative,
the president is chosen by an honest voting system: One man one vote.
Nevertheless the candidate with lesser votes can win the elections and
become the president.
In this NG, engaged in electronics when there are no political issues, there
are several braves active. One even wants to start a new political party
which cannot succeed. American brains have no place for more the two
parties. Leftist weenies are seldom heard. They off course can post if they
want to - so they can be told how wrong they are - but they keep silent most
of the times. The one that comes nearest is not an American and does not
even live in the States but he's an Aussie that lives or lived in Europe
though he seems to be back down under at the moment.
So far what I learned from reading but correct me if I'm wrong J One day I
hope to cross the pond and have a look by myself.
