good story. I guess it's not fair to generalize Americans after meeting some like them.

Dammit! I told you that conversation was private!!!
Seriously though. One couple is an event. Two couples an anomaly. Three would be a trend.
Do you suggest this may develop into a trend?edit on 7-4-2012 by beezzer because: sp

I love the story and I've been more than a little surprised myself at chats in the last year or more..few months especially where the people don't appear as anyone I'd mention topics like this too and then they'll go off into it themselves. I think so many more are awake than folks realize..but so many more are still waking and looking for more context in answers. It's progress though!
whether they are open minded or just RAH-RAH GO AMERICA type folks.

So being "open minded" means having your points of view and being anti-American?

Being stationed in Germany, I find myself limited to what the general "feel" is in the states.
But curious enough, I received a phone call from a friend today. (I was going to start a thread on this because I'm curious) who is/was Special Forces Army for 20 years.
He and his wife invited us to their place, huge acreage in Montana with cabins that they also own, when we leave here. It's my last round-up and I'm out in a few months.
What in the heck is going on in America?????

Just to let you know, I Love the United States, I just severely dislike the abuse of power going on.edit on 7-4-2012 by calnorak because: (no reason given)
