I love my state, but were part of a great nation. I love people from all walks of lifes and all cultures of life. If I had shunned people because they were different, I wouldnt have learned and experienced alot of cool things I have done in my life and I certainly wouldn't be the person I am today. I have alot of respect for other people and their culture (wheter your my next door neighbor, or you live 3,000 miles away) because you never know what you might gain. I am a child of the earth, and I feel if more people had this type of mentality we would be in a much better place. My country isnt better than your country if you like where your living. Just because im american, I shouldnt be shunned if I goto europe or asia. We are all just people trying to live a happy and productive life....
