  • As an (expat) American I have always felt a desire to connect with my heritage and experience the old world, despite never having the chance to. It feels crazy to me that people are overseas living where so much history played out, walking old streets past ancient walls and buildings, and often within a short journey to Neolithic sites and old ruins. There are quiet men herding sheep in a windswept field with mossy rock formations just chilling over there beside their prized lamb, Ollie. Americans removed themselves from all of that and over a couple of centuries it became something mythical and out of reach. We are essentially cut off from our own heritage, and are strangers to our own people, but we’ve been brought up in a culture that makes us quite alien to them when we do make the pilgrimage.

    It’s kind of a sad thing, but I’ve been away from America long enough to understand why Europeans are so put off. Even the most left-leaning Americans need a lot of de-programming. I know I did. Now when my mother visits I am hyper-aware of how different we have become.















  • Agreed. I think a lot of people are mistaking Carney’s attempts at diplomacy for weakness and/or appeasement. I can understand their point of view, especially for the EU who aren’t shy to express their distaste and don’t have this monster at their doorstep like we do. But I do think before long Carney will have to tighten up a bit and stop trying to butter the guy up. It’s a lost cause when it comes to Trump, as we’ve seen here. You could jerk the guy off every day and he would still turn on you at a moment’s notice.
