that's what is so interesting about these posts... no one ever tell where
they are from.. and some times the URL trail does not give it away..

You are missing that there's life outside the USA.


I think this is a problem imbedded in our educational system (USA). For
instance George Bush grew up wealth (trust fund baby), his father was
ambassador to China and the poor rich kid never left the country until he
was
president. No intellectual curiosity, C minus student.

Travel is a great education! So is speaking to other peoples in their
native
tongue. (Even if they have to help you speak their tongue). When I first
traveled to an eastern block country I was amazed at how much
disinformation
our ministry of information had polluted the American public with. On a
lighter note the same is true with France. I found the French to be very
warm
and friendly, I just did not require them to speak English to me. If you
get
to know your enemy he may not really be your enemy.
