Meanwhile statistics inform us that Italians are the most long-lived nation in the world, with an average life estimate of 76,1 years for men and 82,2 for women.
I read somewhere that the marchigiani have the longest life span in Italy. (Meglio un morto in casa che un marchigiano all'uscio...)
Americans have to be constantly reminded and reassured that they are the best and freest happiest and most prosperous people on earth. In Europe we find it silly, but they are still believers and proselytizers of a system, (of para-religious values), whereas we are cynical.
The French used to offer a faint-hearted alternative... and of course the Soviets a hard-hearted one, but both fell by the wayside, the former deconstructed and the latter imploded.
Now it's Islam and americanismo. Allah the Mad VS Mammon the Monster (heavyweight wrestlers).
