It might seem pardox, but it's what my eligious nerd and my history book say.
From what I understand it has to do with the predestination thing - only if God has chosen you you can be successful in life.

I'd like to go to the US, but I reckon I'd be shipped off to Gautanamo in a flash. I don't tend to keep my politics to myself.

7. Americans believe they rule the world. They are inventing their own language (derived from English) as one way of convincing all foreigners, as well as themselves, of their global superiority and ultimate domination.
Perhaps you would prefer to be ruled by the Hun. Did not Lord British try to rule the world at one time?

The British Empire was half the world. But we went all soft and gave it away.
