Quote:I disagree with assimilation. That's a Borg thing. Our differences make us, as a country, better.


I also disagree with the work ethic concept. It's not the government's business whether someone chooses to work hard or hardly work, but it's also not (or shouldn't be) the government's obligation to provide for them if they won't provide for themselves.

I don't think he's wrong really. This country is all about assimilation. Mostly assimilation into American culture sure buy also a lot of foreign culture. Look at our food for a great example of foreign culture being embraced.


We are a melting pot. Not a bento box. The American dream and ideal, I think, is something completely separate than culture but that's probably just semantics.
