I remember once on a talk show, Bono (from U2) said that the difference between irish people and americans is that an american person will walk by a mansion and say to himself, "Someday, I will live in that mansion". When an irish person walks by a mansion he says to himself, "Someday, I will burn that bastard's mansion down".
I always thought that was a great compliment to give americans. I fear though that those days are over.
