Why set it in America? Well, aside from the rich comedy purposes, it can be said that from a certain perspective America is the experimental petri dish of the Western world. America remains an astonishingly good idea -- and those rights held to be self-evident, that had never ever been written down before and which shaped every Western revolutionary society and republic that followed...it's those freedoms that turned the country into both an engine of innovation and an inarguable nuthatch. That's always worth studying.
