Book: One-Storey America. Page 2

Who is America really large, nation-wide fame? People who make money or people, which makes money by someone else. Exceptions to this rule no. Money!

A person earns money, makes your business. Does it matter how the money earned? The money is better, which more!

- In small towns, he said, people leave home without locking doors. Sirs, you may find that you are in the country without exception honest people. And in fact, we're just thieves like all the others - like the French, or the Greeks, or the Italians. The thing is that we begin to steal higher level. We are much richer than Europe, and we rarely steal the jacket, shoes or bread. I'm not talking about hungry people, Sirs. Hungry can take. It is. I'm talking about thieves. They have no calculation to bother with used jackets. Difficult. Same thing with the car. But a piece of paper in hundred dollars is not put anywhere. I have to disappoint you, Sirs. It immediately stolen. Write it down in their little books! Ranging from a hundred dollars not even fifty dollars, Americans just love to steal, like the rest of humanity. But they reach such amounts that poor Europe not even dreamed of.

A month and a half of living in the States we are so tired of American food, we were willing to ingest any food - Italian, Chinese, Jewish, just not a "Breakfast of numbr Tu" or "diner of number one", just not this numbered, standardized, and centralized food. Generally if you can talk about bad taste in food, American cuisine, of course, is an expression of a bad, silly, and eccentric taste that caused the light to such bastards like sweet pickles, bacon, fried to a fortress of plywood, or a blinding white and utterly tasteless (no, having the taste of cotton!) bread.

- Mister, - he said, - I am myself a great optimist, but sometimes I despair of American optimism.

Movie cheaper than the theater. So the movie has grown, and the theatre in the paddock, although culturally American theatre much more than cinema.

But in America the case of national power, like all other business, is built on one principle - profitable or unprofitable. Near new York is unprofitable to raise cattle and make gardens. Therefore, people eat frozen meat, salty butter, and unripe tomatoes. A dealer is profitable to sell chewing gum and people are accustomed to the gum.

We could not understand why American dishes, so beautiful to look at, not too attracted to their taste. At first we thought that there just do not know how to cook. But then I found out that not only in this point, that it is the organization itself, in the very nature of the American economy. Americans eat a dazzling white, but utterly tasteless bread, frozen meat, salty butter, unripe and canned tomatoes.
How is it that the richest country in the world, a country of cultivators and herdsmen, of gold and amazing industry, the country whose resources are sufficient to create a Paradise, cannot give the people tasty bread, fresh meat, butter, and ripe tomatoes?

Under this concept the average American means a person who has a decent job and a decent salary and who from the point of view of capitalism, represents an example of a healthy, prosperous American, lucky optimist who receive all the blessings of life at a relatively inexpensive price.

Mr. Adams was an easy attitude to money - a bit of humor and has very little respect. In this sense, it was not similar to American.
A real American is ready to be humorous in everything, but only not money.

I assure you, mister, capitalism is the most fragile thing on earth.

Here electricity has been reduced (or raised, if you want) to the level of a trained animal in the circus. Here he was forced to wriggle, jump over obstacles, wink, to dance. Calm adanowski electricity turned into Durov's sea lion. It catches balls with his nose, juggles, dies, comes alive, doing all that he ordered. The electric parade never stops. The lights flash, spinning and go off to now again to Shine; letters large and small white, red and green, endlessly run away somewhere, to a second to return and resume his frantic run.

We encouraged him as a young man persuades the girl to love him. No reason he's not, but he really wants someone to love. So he moan.

Appetite leaves during the meal.
