When I left the U.S. over 3 years ago I felt it might be the answer, it wasn't. No matter where you go in the world you will be an American in everyone elses eyes. You will automatically have many barriers to overcome with most people you meet. This isn't just an American thing.. the British have the same problem, as do Europeans. After traveling abroad the last few years I CANNOT WAIT to come home!

Soon enough I'll be moving to a third world country for about a year, if I can handle it, then back home to the U.S.

Our American people didn't change overnight when Bush was elected. Phelps has been around long before Bush Jr. was president. I have a feeling when I get back to the states I'll be stirring the pot a bit. I feel more patriotic now then ever before and wont let some bible thumping smug Daddies little rich boy tell me how to live my life.
