snip outrage

Dad never liked Americans, and sometimes I can see why.

Dear God, please do not judge us all on the basis of the mumblings of
folks like Art, the Tarvernaut, and those of similar ilk. We all have
our share of bad apples.


I did say "sometimes".

I worked with Americans (and Texans) for many years, and found the vast
majority to be kind and friendly people. Just like every other
nationality I have known. As you said, every country has its share of
stupid, ignorant and downright irritating people (God save us from those
who are all three), so I don't judge whole nations on the evidence of a
few individuals.
