wut? Salt of what?

wikipedia:

The inner core of the Earth, its innermost part, is a primarily solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 km (760 mi), according to seismological studies.[1][2] (This is about 70% of the length of the Moon's radius.) It is believed to consist primarily of an iron–nickel alloy, and to be about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun: approximately 5700 K (5430 °C).

so wher's the salt, and why is it the us?

Seems your depth of specialized knowledge in all things scientific may have caused temporary blindness. Reference to the metaphor that occurs in the Sermon on the Mount, as part of a discourse on Salt and Light, notes appreciation of the hard working and humble in the fields and on main street that the United States of America owes so much. Sorry for the confusion. That's the last thing we we in the GF.

Note the amount of Americans who used 'freedom' in their like... that's a nice little piece of successful propaganda by the US government.

You're just jealous you'll never in your life be as free as your average American let alone your below average American (prisoner, marginalized persons, families and persons in poverty and oppressive debt, etc). They are soaked in freedom. It is dripping out of every orifice in their bodies. The rest of us will never know what it's like to be as free as an American. They have it all and then some. Yes sir.

where does the nucleus come into play?

In fact I know the sermon of the Mount, and am ashamed to have missed the bit, where the Salt is reffered to as a US speciality...

It is not used as a term of endearment.

Salt (of the earth) is never "reffered to as a US speciality".

New Zealand (not my country, but near enough)

Like: Peaceful, beautiful, suitable for any lifestyle except perhaps the sunbathers' culture, great white wines
Dislike: Those horrible vowels, can't buy pre-sliced cheese. (Couldn't believe that, NZ Mainland cheese is exported to Tasmania where they pre-slice it for the Australian market, but the people who live in the country where it's made can't buy the pre-sliced packs!)
