I can't believe we're giving this guy the time of day... but anyway....
Its clear most Americans don't think the same way as Fig, that's why we have to refer to America the "salad" rather than America the "melting-pot"; because its non-pc to assume that everyone should be assimilated.

I agree-is there an average anything? We all want the basics-3 squares a day and a roof over our heads. Beyond that, it is more down to the individual, their economic capability and what's available to them. Some of their choices hinge upon their maturity level. Culture plays a part, but that doesn't allow for idiosyncratic desires.
