Jerry,
I wonder if you also

American,

I don't believe in these American myths.

I would add that: If you think that American

Like almost all other countries America first serves her own 
interests. However they understand law of collective karma. So they 
are wise enough to understand that if all countries progress America 
would automatically benefit. So many of America's policies take into 
account interests of other nations, especially countries friendly to 
the US. All political, economic and other policies of the US are 
guided by these principles. 

I have my own idea about 'good English' but I would like to know what 
do you mean by 'good English'

This is strange. I will comment after getting actual statistics.

This is also unbelievable. I will comment after getting statistics.


One of the questions I asked was what was their favorite

Perhaps most people in the world like this subject. TV programs are 
made according to demand from people. There is huge demand for such 
programs and so producers make and show such programs.

If I was staying in America it would have been much easier to do 
Theosophical work there. Still I will try my best to help.
