If being in debt is "the American way" then I am almost certifiably un-American as I make a strong commitment to saving as much as I spend things other than food and other living necessities. And by save I don't mean save to spend later. I literally mean I never intend to touch it for many years to come. Makes me feel comfortable knowing that I have enough money in the bank to rebuy whatever I have all over again in case disaster strikes.

Side note: I am just about as American as one can get in terms of my support for the Constitution in its more pure, original state as developed by the founding fathers. I personally consider a firm understanding and belief in the Constitution of the United States to be the most important thing to really being an American. Too bad 90% of Americans are oblivious to most of the text, much less the interpertation in the legal system, of the Constitution. Everyone always just knows the highlights, largely the ammendments, namely: speech/religion, guns, and quick and public trial. Everyone should be required to know all the ammendments and be able to say them at a moment's notice. I don't want to get all Mao's Red Book or nuthin'...but most Amerians don't even have a clue what the Constitution proper, not the Bill of Rights, has to say.

lfegan,

I simply made a joke. I think you took it a tad too seriously?
