I dont entirely with that last sentence. Its sounds a bit like blairism liberalism. Everyone is different everywhere you go. Though we have more in common than we have uncommon. Every one place is different, every environment is different, hence each place produces different opportunities and therefore changes the people. I do think economic factors do point to a correlation in unemployment, social problems, economic vitality, etc but america as a whole has long been a more dynamic environment than most places, hence the people themselves are often more dynamic.
so sadly as much as Id like to agree with you, alas I can only partly agree.
