3. Maybe it's in our national genes?

From Sinclair Lewis' "Dodsworth" published in 1929 and which I happen to be reading right now:

"Strikes me that one-half or maybe two-thirds of the American people are the best fellows on earth--the friendliest and the most interested in verything and the jolliest. And I guess the remaining third are just about the worst crabs, the worst Meddlesome Matties, the most ignorant and pretentious fools, that God ever made."
