Perhaps the lore of exceptionalism has taken the place of actually being exceptional.

This is certainly true, and so is the answer to the question for the thread "yes". Of course, it is hard to imagine a society in which the thread's answer is not "yes"--although the myth of exceptionalism remains a tragically American phenomenon.
