And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

This was entertaining. The kid driving the Ram truck to Hooters was a kick.
Most Euros I've met over the years can't imagine why Americans are so upbeat, welcoming, and downright friendly - they see our movies, TV, and news, and swear we're at war with each other.
When they witness the hidden\silent parts of the country, they're in shock and disbelief. And, I bet, long to stay to embrace a piece of it for themselves...
Cause usually the movies, TV, and news are made by and done in the areas where people are at war with America and themselves. Get away from those areas, and people are/can be much more chill.
Quite possibly the best post you've ever put out. Hats off to the author and to you for showing us what most of us would have never seen. Made my day and I've still got a smile on my face and can't stop chuckling! Thanks CW!
A really heart-warming article about what makes the US special...thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately one experience with an American Urban Hood Rat will spoil it.

ReplyDeleteThe story about being gobsmacked when asked "How ya want your eggs, hon?" took the article across the finish line!
