Yeeeeah the USA is still very Puritanical. Especially for a Western country. Take abortion, for example, a deeply heated thing in the USA these days and the rest of the western world , largely, put that whole thing to bed in the 1960s. Then, of course, you have the whole religion thing. But, I guess, that is what happens when the UK sent all the crazy religious nutjobs to the colonies there, originally, because their zealot nature was too much for the mother land. Something was bound to happen eventually, right?
