Yea...you couldn't do a better observation than that because that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

That and having the most knuckledraggers per capita than any other civilized nation.

I haven't seen any shopping malls or large chain grocery stores in any other country the sizes they are here. And the sheer amount, like having a Lowes and Home Depot across the street from one another.

And yes McDonalds et all are practically everywhere on the globe but again, not in the amount they are here.

And why is that a bad thing? It's not like there's no competition to McDonald's or large grocery chains.

Okay, but just remember when the next time you're barfing to Lady Gaga that you could be listening to Miles Davis instead.
