Not your typical American--Montana Wildhack
snip

Good Americans don't question the essential superiority of America. Many Americans boast that they have no desire to even travel to another country. They believe that it is a sign of patriotism to wallow in ignorance of the rest of the world. Not all Good Americans are quite that patriotic. Some are open to the possibility that there might be other places in the world that are nice to visit. Really open-minded Good Americans think that, if one is quite adventurous, one might even live in another country for a year or two.

Bad Americans not only think that it is possible to be happy in another country, they're open to the possibility that there might be things about other countries that are actually nicer than America. Bad Americans would give up their right to own an assault rifle for the right to see a doctor without taking out a loan. They think that public transport shouldn't just be for people who are too poor to own a car.

1. Odd pen-name. That's the woman from Slaughterhouse Five
"Montana Wildhack: a pornographic movie starlet kidnapped at age twenty by the Tralfamadorians to be Billy's mate. She and Billy learn to trust each other and they have a child while on display in the zoo. While in New York Billy sees a blue movie staring Montana and reads a magazine article that suggests she was killed by the mob but he knows she is on Tralfamadore."
