Mississippi wants Bible as the official state book

[abaris]

Yes, because one state fairly represents all fifty.

But you have to take into consideration how alien most of the so called American way of life is to most parts of the western world. I'm not talking about the big coastal hubs like New York. LA or San Francisco, but about the vast countryside and southern cities. Apart from the religiosity it's also the more mundane things we would worry about. Such as not having universal health care, but a system where you pay heavily just for the very real chance of your insurance company dropping you in the gutter.

I like to visit the US, but I wouldn't move there unless for a very high paid job. Slim chance for that, by the way.
