Thank You Stephen Fry for a Refreshing Look at the United States.





I am half way through an interesting six episodes of British actor Stephen Fry traveling in a London Cab in a sort of a Brit Version of the old CBS “On the Road” news series with Charles Kurult.

In a typically low budget BBC, but very creative POV series of life in the fifty states, this non-New York, non-Hollywood, look at the vastness and absolute infinite possibilities of American Reality is a welcome entertainment vehicle to me.

I am quite jealous of the Brits and their upper crust going for intelligent conversation and perception well beyond the ruling class in America that counts success in how much money and blow they can accumulate in a lifetime with their “C” Ivy League degrees.

It is so hard in America to find people like Fry with I/Qs above 120 to have decent polite conversations with etc.

I do not want to use the cliché “diverse” to describe America. It is something quite something else up close and personal as seen in this series.
