It's also such a huge country that it invites generalisations. On the whole, I've found coastal states to be pretty decent places. And, in fact, (though it's not a coastal state) Phoenix is completely brilliant.
Re things of worth. I understand but I think it's simply a fact of who cares about worth? In what sense? They're producing plenty, I reckon, though it's not news-worthy except for that thing. That war? Yeah that's about it.
50% of that country, probably more now, have been entirely misrepresented by their foreign politics. It's not a perfect nation, but neither's mine (UK).
I've been doing a lot of travelling between the UK and US. I really feel that, in terms of percentages, we are dead equal for idiots. USA just has a larger population!

Well said.
I've done my fair bit of travelling around the world, and I must say America has the nicest people of all (yes, I've been to Canada), and that the UK probably has the least friendly, most arrogant and anti-social citizens.
That being said, I've never been to the east coast of the US, except for a day I spent in Philadelphia- which was okay.
