I can think of loads more reasons far more important than this why you should be embarrassed to be from the US. Hows about your stupid gun laws, the fact that 40% of you don't "believe" in evolution, that Guantanamo is still open, that 30 million-plus of your citizens don't have access to decent health care, that you harbour evangelical lunatics, that your global emissions are way out of line, more so by far than any other country, with your population, that you somehow managed to elect George Bush twice, that you've been running a completely bogus and damaging "war on terror" for 12 years, that you unconditionally support Israel, one of the most racist and bellicose nations on Earth...?
