This was my initial journal reaction when I had landed in Chicago...
I just arrived back in America, and I could not be more disgusted. Some campy Disney-like video about interracial couples and bears in rivers greeted me at customs. And on the other side was a McDonalds. As I glanced around at all the gluttonous white people chattering away their meaningless lies, I felt I had to do something to get back into the 'Merican Spirit.' So I thought about what it means to be "free" over a Big Mac, cheeseburger, fries and a coke. If you ask me, freedom is a little greasy and over-salted. There was a fleeting moment of satisfaction with my gluttonous adventure when a new development from BP cam on the airport television. I quickly snapped out of my stupor and crapped out any warm feelings I had for this country.
Welcome Back.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. We need to change this country, it is going to hell just like Rome did. See https://thedidaskalon.wordpress.com for some great Ancient Greek maxims.
