Be American

As some of you know, I have been out of the country.  Nothing gives one a sense of the quality of life in America more than traveling outside.  Beyond the quality of life, there is still the sense that America is the destination of others wishing to take advantage of the opportunities in this nation.  This is different from non-Americans seeking to take advantage of the wealth of this nation. 

There is a difference between the opportunities this nation has to offer and the wealth it possesses.

Too often, lately, the objective has been to come to America to obtain some of its wealth, through any means, preferably without effort; as "payback", maybe for transgressions of the past. I find this repulsive.

  1. Excuse the pun, but "Amen"! I never felt any other way when traveling (and returning from) abroad.

    1. Traveling is enjoyable, but it is nice knowing you can return.
