Who is an american?

I've been getting a lot of views from Iran for some reason....which seems strange. This blog is broadcasted from america and the way their leaders and many in the streets talk about the united states I am surprised they are even aloud to view this blog or any from america. But this isn't about Iran or any of my other countries that view this blog,  this is about who americans are. Well for me americans are many and diverse, we live in a system built upon a lot of strugle and from that strugle we are now able to live a richer life because of past endevours. Most things we buy we have no idea how it got there, or where it came from and we do not think about it. I personally try and buy american when I can but probably most my purchases are not from america. I am not rich, but I am rich compared to most of the rest of the world just as anyone is a citizen of this great nation. We are religous, however most of us who claim a religion simply claim it as a check box on a paper. I am not one of those but I do know many who claim religion as simply something to say they are like "I'm irish" or "I'm russian" like it's something that just is. TV is a huge part of the american life, even if you do not have cable or satelite you still get around 10-12 channels though these days most everyone has cable or satelite where a bunch of useless channels are located. Those viewing TV especially the kids in a lot of ways are brainwashed and live according to what they see on TV. It's a powerful machine that people don't realize what they view on it can impact how they think, especially at young ages. Where do we work? Well we work mostly in chains, meaning stores/restaraunts/buildings that look very similar and sometimes the same as one another- such as taco bell's, wal-mart's, good will's, KFC's, and the such. We also work in the military, for various reasons we enlist but unlike many countries military service is not required. The rest of us either worked hard and have some kind of business or went to college and got to work for one of such built business that likely isn't such a huge chain or maybe not one at all either way though what ever it is selling costs more therefore its workers get paid more. For most of us to go to college and work for a semi succesful company is the top of the food chain. There is a sect of america that the lower and middle class never see's or meet's. The super rich that own the chains across the america, and other mega succesful business's. This secret sect of america likely makes the recent law for the past 50-80 years by sending candidates money, getting them elected and then sending lobyists for pursuasion. This is only like 1% of us though and do not represent us as americans however they are at fault for how we are seen globally for making the laws they make, and making/saying what will go on TV to brainwash the nation. It's funny and sad in a way, the least american of us is who creates our image. Anyways, this is a little bit of us americans. We're not evil, we try and help each other out- our friends and family. We work to pay the bills (most of us) and since we do have more wealth here as a nation we have a lot of leisure activities. Many of us look at this life we live and think it's too complex and a simple life might have been better. We think our leaders are insane and have mental problems- most of what we see them do we have to ignore and keep on living our lives, when we see bad things happen around the world many of us spend our money to help them and pray for them. That's us in a nutshell.
