The article, in a reasonably-respected, mainstream journal, began, "Americans are overweight, overspent, deep in credit card debt, and mired in their disoganized, cluttered lives."
Put differently, I might have agreed with it.
However; I am not overweight, do not carry credit card debt, have no debts except my home mortgage (with savings nearly equal to it) and have no need for hoarding, so have no clutter (at least not material clutter) in my life.
Am I not, then, an American?
Why must the media insist on treating us all as one? Did the author forget to begin "Too many . . ." or is it just so much more fun to lump us into one hapless, hopeless blob of humanity?
Or so much more controlling?
