I'm reading Winston Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples and finding that, regardless of anything, I'm loyal to jolly old England (at least so far-I suppose that'll change when the US comes on the scene.) Anyway, I can't help but wonder at how different the world would look to me if I were raised in France, or Italy, or Russia, or anywhere but here.
I suppose it's the same thing that goes on during the Olympics. I still want the US to win. I don't think I could help it if I tried. I can despise our government, hate our stupidity, look down on most of our citizens, but I couldn't really hate the whole thing if I tried. And if I was in a foreign country for an extended period of time, I don't suppose much would make happier than meeting another American. Funny how that works.

I clicked the link to your blog from the Pontification Ad Nauseuam blog, mainly because I liked your opinions of Mr. Darcy as opposed to Mr. Knightley....and lo and behold, I find a very neat blog with lots of wonderful insights into Scripture and great literature. It made my day :)
Why, thank you!
I have to say, your comment made my day, so we're equal. :D
