Tag: Rants from Afar

Not everyone was into this, but this journalist from BBC has been in the states writing about us for some time now.

Easily enough, the reason you never saw me rant about hi was because in most of his own little rants, he had some down to earth points.

What he’s done in actuality has been to come to America and write about us…from the a rather common standpoint of the critical Brit, but getting answers firsthand.

He hasn’t exactly been warm and fuzzy about it, but he has been fair for the most part and there are areas he considers morally ambiguous that we simply ignore as freedoms and sometimes worse, we ignore even though they are criminal.

What has really surprised me, is his final message about his time here in the U.S.

I finished reading this with a big grin on my face.

…after all the criticism, there is compliment and grudging respect.

As a U.S. citizen and rather vocal Texan, that’s all I’d expect after a visit 😉 Cheers!
