I have been asking myself "What do Americans want?" And this is the answer - they want to be wonderful. Or, more precisely, they want to feel they are wonderful.
The two are the same thing, in their minds. For them, their mind is the whole world - a crazy idea, but a common one in the 20th Century - where they still live.
This is also what Evangelicals give Ticos - a community of wonderful people, like them. These communities, or churches - are built in their towns, using money donated from up North.
These churches not only make them wonderful - they make them richer, using the same techniques they acquired from Industrialization - that has not penetrated much down here.
