All the details are certainly debatable, and I won't claim to be 
well-versed enough in sociology, politics, etc to get into such details 
(nor would I really want to in a D.announce sub-thread - apologies if 
that sounds like back-peddling), but it's just a certain theme I've 
noticed that, from this insider at least, in my personal observation the 
country doesn't seem to be quite as progressive as it may appear to be 
(or claim to be), or as one might assume it to be (the super bowl nipple 
thing is another example), and my hypothesis is that could account for 
the US vs Europe D-uptake discrepency. But, of course one thing that 
*is* certain is that the US has a lot of both ulta-liberal, 
ultra-conservative, and everythintg in-between (and probably plenty of 
extremes on some other axes as well!). So grain of salt in hand, in any 
case, it's just a thought.
