	Communication is nice, but most of this strikes me as being
all about Drew, not about Germany.

	So'm I, and I don't give a shit about most of the crap you put
up there.  I think it's more of a Suburban thing than an American
thing.  And of course, how typically Sub-urban to assume that the rest
of the country is supposed to be JUST LIKE THE SUBURBS.

	Dear Germany,

		Please send more tourists.

		The last ones were delicious.

			Sincerely,

				The United States of America.
