If America has a culture, (and it can be argued that it really does’t have a culture, it’s too young. It can also be argued that the very aspect of not having a single culture is itself American culture). In any case, with the outside edges receiving informatio from abroad, the center is where we might look if we want to find an all-american culture, don't you think? (this is just for fun).
Well, I’m your man. I’m from Kansas!
And as many of you know, I do not fit the steriotype of an all-american boy.
I am a strange Kansan, but a real Kansan nonetheless. I am not the myth…I am the real thing. And it appears I have abandoned ship, now living in rural Japan. Does that say something?
Kansas is famous for beef, BBQ, the Wizard of Oz, Jazz, Basketball, Eisenhower, Truman, trying to ban the teaching of evolution in public schools, and Fred Phelps. There are no mountains in Kansas, but we do have hilly forests and rivers. Kansas was a free state, and helped many people find liberation.
Kansas means“People of the wind.”
We just flew right in. It`s complete with a great music scene, dedicated anarchists, and one of the greatest art museums in the country, The Nelson Atkins.
So, that's just a little bit more info to help you get to know me,
and my people. IT`s all part of my job as an ambassador.
