America's all time iconic hero is the cowboy, not by considering the real cowboys, about half of which were Black ( a verifiable fact that would pale John Wayne and cult), but the cowboy as interpreted by Hollywood. The most iconic hero in a society has a great influence on its members via the role-model ethic. The emotional development reflected by Hollywood's cowboys is about on the same level as eighth-grade punk. Most of the world sees Americans as "immature", according to credentialed experts. I point to your many references (we're all kids!!!) as continued contribution to our national emotional dysfunction.

But then you are Hollywood, doing your Sammy Glick tapdance, pretending there is no America outside tinsletown.
