[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 573546, member: 363"] We have city, county, state, and national politics. One state's political climate can vary profoundly from that of another. The politics of one city or county also vary more than you seem to think. Move from, say, California to the deep South and your eating habits will change. Again, there is more variance than is thought. That is more a matter of them not having as much history behind them as those in Europe. Still, the city centers of, say, New York and San Francisco, or Cleveland and Seattle, are very different. There are many, many regional products that are not available in different regions of the US. The ones that are best known are, indeed, available just about anywhere - Coke, Budweiser, etc. But they certainly are nowhere near being the only ones filling their niches. This has begun to change, somewhat, but has not resulted in a totally homogenous set of products. It wasn't that long ago that Coors beer was only found out in the mountain states. Hmm. Well, I worked for years unloading trucks, and we had truckers in from all over the US. Sometimes there would be truckers from, say, Missouri (no offense to anyone from the "Show Me" state) whose accents were so heavy as to be difficult to understand. However, you're right; in general the difference isn't that great. But it can still be found. In general, I understand your point. However, some of the examples you make are more complicated than presented. But, yes, I do agree that the US is more homogenized than Europe. [/QUOTE]
