I have to admit that on the morning of 9/11, I 
thought, "No one would ever fly a plane into a skyscraper in Melbourne." But that's not a very practical thought. I feel so much a part of U.S. culture that I don't think I could live anywhere else. 
So I compromise and live in a place that's not much like the rest of the country - a little island off the coast of America, as Spalding Gray once put it.

there are no skyscrapers in melbourne, wait a sec, 
you mean the melbourne in australia, not the one in florida, in that case, carry on...

oh, another thing, have always been intriqued by above attitude about place, how 'american exceptionalism' becomes - take a pick - new york/san fran/berkeley exceptionalism...

and one more thing, spalding gray, yuuuck...   michael hoover
