I must be the one to write it then! As I can fill a page about that easily. Perhaps a 2nd Edition would be 5-10 pages long.

Well, if you're gonna do this, how about we look at the shortest books in America:

How not to interfere with other countries.

How to be "cool" without acting like an idiot.

How to realise that America is not always right.

Fast food is not a smart thing to eat regularly.

Blah, this could go on forever...

No, just predictable. Yet another thread about Korea that some poster decides to turn on the US, which is interesting as the OP appears to be Canadian. Well, he showed that Canadian a thing or two.
