Americans only get to know much about the outside world if they are interested and search out the information themselves. Neither the education system nor the media go much on what is outside the borders of their country. Which is fair enough and a valid choice. It does seem strange to non-US people when they read some stuff written by Americans and the assumptions therein. That migrant mother may be poor by modern or even contemporary US standards, but in world terms she was probably one of the top 5% in wealth terms. Assuming that it tells all is a peculiarly American viewpoint. Frank Dernie On 29 Aug, 2010, at 01:11, Mark Rabiner wrote: > I think she looks like a millionairess.
