h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You seem to have totally ignored the fact that America was founded on the Blood of the Indigenous People that lived here.
The US government still still refuses honor the treaties that it made with the Indigenous owners of this land.
Your revisionist history shows only the positive facets of
America. Not only was this country founded upon the blood and bones of the Native Peoples, but also the African, Asian and European workers that came to this country.

This isn't a revisionist history. It's not a history entry at all.

You're right and I should have said revisionist story instead of revisionist history.. sorry about that... You do leave glaringly large gaps in your story about the US and Americanisms.

As I said, that's because this isn't an entry about the history of America. There are a few bits about history because they're relevant to the topic.

I agree that this is not a very good 'history' of America, but the author states this is not his goal, so - so be it.

I am assuming the gaol is to let someone who is unfamilair with America and Americans read a little bit about what both the country and people are like/about. The points of history listed are relevant to the scope of this goal.

Since you meantion the population density, you might want to go ahead and list the total area of land. The distance between the larger cities is something many Europeans I've met cannot comprehend. NY and Chicago are very large cities, but the distance between them is around 800 miles.

You could also mention that the size of the states range from very small (Rhode Island - dont know the size) to very large (Texas and California...Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas, btw).

Something else about America that many non-Americans I've met simply cannot fathom is the interstate freeway system. Which, from what I can tell, is why we Americans provide distance in units of time. The answer is an estimation of how long it takes to drive there.
Question: How far is it from here to Atlanta?
Response: About 11 hours.

Something else about America is that we dont have public transportation like European countries. It's not simple to take a train from city-to-city. It's easier to drive or fly. Inside a large city, there may be trains (subway/tube/whatever you jargon for it is)...but there are plenty of large cities in America that have no such thing.

You know, I'm thinking that a section about getting around America would be a very good idea.

I'll work on it and let you know when it's finished.

Stopped by to see if there were any updates. I like the 'getting around section'...however, Chevrolet is part of General Motors (so the 'vette is 'kinda' a GM product). The Thuderbird is a Ford product, which is not part of General Motors. OTOH, there is a GM product (under the Pontiac brand) called Firebird, perhaps this is what you meant?
