I think American cluture sucks. Is it normal?

I'm sure there was plenty of losers back then too, but history tends to only tell you about the good things. In a couple hundred years, what do you think will be officially recorded about us? And not just officially recorded but most popularly read subjects? Probably only the greatest achievements and the bottom of the barrel, the mid section will fall by the wayside, as usual. There's been horrible people, great minds, wonderful artists and everything inbetween throughout history but when you delve into the subject you tend to find exactly hat you're looking for-either the worst or the best-the in-betweeners don't tend to make history.
