Arrogance

I wonder what it is that gives a country its definition. The french are known as snooty and rude, the germans proud, the japanese honerable, however the americans are known as arrogant. Not the arrogance the comes from being confident in yoursef, but more of kind that comes from being the biggest bully on the block. How can an entire nation associate the biggest with the best. Would it have something to do with the supersizing populace being the largest people on the planet. I wonder how when the world is facing an oil shortage and is in danger of actually running out, the americans makes the bigger cars than ever before. I dont know how many times ive seen commercials for the H2 or some monstrosity powered by a hemi. While the rest of the world is moving over to hybrid cars or zev's the americans brag how their truck has more horsepower. Oh well im sure everyone will feel a little more secure once the freedom tower is erected.
