how awesome!! where DO you find these things?? Woohoo!! Americans who live abroad really for the most part get their eyes opened and realize that their country is not god's chosen spot for the resurrection..or ought to have any claims of political exceptionalism. It IS possible however, to love your country but not agree with that kind of isolationist culture. Most people the world over, love the country where they've been born, it's part of human nature to feel affiliated with your roots, it's normal. That also means that no one's 'roots' trump anyone else's. As someone who's lived in different countries and traveled to a few more, I know and can attest to the fact that there is no such thing as utopia. As Mrs. Tweedy said in chicken run; "It's all in your head Mr. Tweedy, SAY IT!"

I was watching this show last night called BlackEnterprise (which is a great show- always on at ungodly hours...) and they always have great guests and interesting topics, the end of the show last night they had a piece of one of these videos..so off I went to Youtube ( I spend more time there than I should...BUT...all good)..anyways it was so cool seeing all these folks so far away ...so connected....but what is funny= I did look for a Dutch Bridge ( I will keep looking..) if you go to Youtube there are many of these..I just fell in love with these two..you can also click the title for another good video.....
about Countries...I think also it is about traveling about....you are as much of a bohemian as me...and able to appreciate other cultures and lands and people...not everyone does...but this narrowminded WE are Best, we are america- that philosophy is not globally friendly or realistic....
sigh...
thanks again...
