America is Unique

"America is unique in that it endlessly creates its own identity: it invents and reinvents itself every day. America sees what America wants to see, then paints a new canvas in a new style. It is an improv act: it acts impulsively by feel or want. It is contrary and impetuous: When others walk, it dances; When they dance, it sits down to wallflower. When others speak, it interrupts. It listens to itself and then sings a new song out of boredom."
