About this ebook
We don't know if you know this, but the United States is weird. Don't believe us? Here are 76 essays on all the weird, quirky, strange things we just kind of accept in our country, from Homecoming mums to Sadie Hawkins, gun culture, and more.
Topics include:
- Our complex tax system
- Why we don't call ourselves United Statesians since we aren't the only Americans in the Americas
- Our obsession with processed cow's milk
- The school-to-prison pipeline
- Circumcision
- Much, much more
Silly American is an easy-to-read, enjoyable look at the fun, quirky, sometimes light and sometimes dark aspects of U.S. culture that make this country what it is. Best of all, it's an accessible and often funny gift that can help nudge a right-wing friend or family member ever-so-slightly to the left. Just a little bit.
