*waves hand* I'm an American! I am! I can also spell, but don't hold that against me.
But then I guess we Europeans are a bit backward compared to your sophisticated country.
*pats Europe on the back* It's painful, isn't it, BM? After all, we invented fast food! Disposable diapers! Cow horns attached to front grills of cars. All the trappings of a sophisticated society that I'm sure the Europeans will want to emulate! In general you have better cell-phone systems and broadband service than we do, better health-care and public education. But we produce most of the world's entertainment and I'm willing to wager we borrow the most money!
America is always advanced in many ways
I suppose I'll have to concede that one. I do believe we still lead the world in number of lawyers and frivolous law suits. We also lead the world in the number of medical errors and a health-care system so flawed that it may be, in fact, the leading cause of death in this country. On the other hand, we are both the major importer and exporter of firearms, ammunition, musical instruments, pyrotechnics, explosives, and radioactive materials. But musical instruments are on the list!
To bring this post back on topic (checks to see what the topic was), I certainly hope numerous American lawyers were involved in the breakup of the Beatles. I like to think we were in there when it happened, contributing in one of the things we do best. Cheers, everyone!
ETA for Revolution: I've been to Ireland too and think it's great. Right now New Zealand has captured my heart. But there's a lot of countries I want to visit; I've only dipped my toe into Europe so far: England, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic. Holland is on the list!
