The strange thing is that I (and nearly everyone I know) think the American people are wonderful, friendly and kind people. Just the day before yesterday when I was shoveling snow when I got into a conversation with a lady I had not seen before. She was carrying a big tote bag patterned like an American flag and spent at least half an hour telling me how much she loved America. I love her too, but like Leonard Cohen
