Living in America: a Guide for the Perplexed Chapter 20

You just can't talk about america without talking about oil. For many people in the world, the television oil drama dallas once defined their frame of reference for what america and americans are like. In that show, oil tycoons (a vanishingly small group of people) behaved very badly, swapping sexual partners and switching sexual orientation and killing each other and coming back with different features. In the real world oil tycoons behave very badly in much, much more boring ways.
