Matching up your national identity with your nation's policy is always a tough one. I'm actually happy to be American, even when I'm ashamed of all of the things we've done and all of the things we represent to the world. I feel a sense of responsability for that, and try to not be that stereotype, and try to enact the changes I believe in. Mostly because, unless things continue to get worse in our foreign and domestic policy, I'm too old to be happy about being a permanent expatriate:)

And I'm definitely too much of a baby to go live with the Canadians. I'm tired of being cold 9 months out of the year:)
