Thank you both for your replies. My question was more retorical, but you both gave better answers than I could have done on the spot.
A very large part of me really wishes I was living in another country right now. I am not proud of being from the US, or being an "American."
It alwasy bothered me that The US doesn't have a better tag than that, since there are two entire continents of Americans, and by taking the title we just sort of disclude them.
I remember being in Mexico and some one asked where we were from. My friend said she was an american. The guy living in Mexico, said "so am I."
