we are the flag ship of Western Culture in this World

That is a very U.S.-centric point of view, themilum.

Web not so U.S-centric anymore
Industry Standard magazine, March 15, 1999

Throughout the 1990s, the bulk of the Net's growth has taken place in the U.S. The unabashedly American character of Web content is impossible to overlook.

However, the Internet's demographics are slowly shifting away from U.S.-centrism. Some of the first signs of a more cosmopolitan Net population are visible on the major U.S.-based community sites.

Who are the "Americans" in "America" anyway?

The Province of Ontario across from Michigan has more in common with Michigan than Michigan has in common with Alabama, for instance. Likewise, Washington State has more in common with British Columbia than with Alabama.

And much has been made of the "red state/blue state" divide*.

So it might be fair to ask, themilum, which America "is the flag ship of Western Culture"?

Dgeigh came very close with "patri-centric". How about nation-centric?

* Blue states buzz over secession
THE WASHINGTON TIMES, November 2004

Secession, which didn't work very well when it was tried once before, is suddenly red hot in the blue states. In certain precincts, anyway.

One popular map circulating on the Internet shows the 19 blue states won by Sen. John Kerry — Washington, Oregon, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Maryland and the Northeastern states — conjoined with Canada to form the "United States of Canada."
