I always found the symbols of America interesting and their connections to the history of the European Democratic societies (and their ideals). Concepts that spread like wildfire across the global peasantry, unlanded & slave classes alike.
Who is this Columbia woman? Seriously, why is there a pyramid with an eye on the dollar bill? Compared to many other countries currencies, America has some of the most ambiguous imagery on its bills to the point most Americans don't know or understand their respective meanings.
Americans don't discuss Democracy's relationships to Anarchy (I always found this strange, especially with its obsession with guns); how one complements the other in very important and dynamic ways (this was an ongoing study in the working groups of early democratists).
Why did Americans give up wigs and the Brits did not? are the paris club and imf considered democratic institutions because they originate in democratic countries? Why is capitalism as an economic structure automatically considered democratic?
America as a concept of converging ideas has always befuddled me.
