What Americans don't care much about is the piffle we put on TV these days, what they don't care about is boring, irrelevant, badly told stories, and what they really hate is the presumption that they're too stupid to know the difference.

Hey, folks, this is Karen at Berkshire Publishing. LoveUSHateUs isn't meant to be a discussion forum per se but a collection of insights and observations grounded in personal experience. Ethnographic accounts, in fact, which are very important and hard to find on this subject.

The use of Caps Lock is a warning sign that people are venting, not providing fresh information. I would appreciate hearing from regular readers/contributors (to karen [at] berkshirepublishing [dot] com) about whether you would like to see a separate forum for the debates. I'll be writing more about this on the blog. In the meantime, please provide specific observations, incidents, comments you've heard, and other evidence to back up your statements.

Also, new writers, please give yourself a more distinctive name than just a first name, so the database can match your contributions through the "Read more by this author" link.
