You cannot have the best of the old country _and_ the best of the new.

Now there I disagree.

My German heritage meshes nicely with Mary's Hungarian background. We
enjoy great beer, wine, potatoes, and goulash, as well as oompah bands
and polkas!

In my opinion, the ONLY parts of our heritage that have survived five
generations in the United States have been the best ones. All the
horrible European problems that our ancestors fought so hard to escape
have been left behind, while the good parts -- the food, the song, the
festivals -- remain.

In the end, we are both very proud of our heritage, but we are first
and foremost AMERICANS. Our great-grandparents didn't risk their
lives coming here so that we could screw that up.
