Now, I know you only have positive intentions in this email, but I am a little offended 
that you associate Americans with being morally vacant, while Scandanavian

on this whole thread, but I'd rather not see these kinds of generalizations on a music 
oriented list. But I'm with you on the whole peace thing :)
