[Gpdd] MISC: the biggest rodent

[Ruth Leibowitz]

I went to the USPS website and did notice that the stamps were about 
"America," but technically "America" and the U.S. are not the same!  The 
rest of North America (e.g. Canada, Mexico) and all of Central and South 
America are also America.  So it's true that in the U.S. the biggest native 
rodent is the beaver (and the a wonderful rodent at that), but I wish 
certain "Americans" would get their geography straight!  Other (non-U.S.) 
Americans get tired, I think, of having us equate "America" with the United 
States.
