@chipotle Just read this twice while waiting for my quinoa to cook. ;) I’m still thinking about what I want to say about this. I’m a gen-x like you, grew up in Washington state, said the pledge of allegiance every day at school and stood up with my hand on my heart whenever the national anthem played. But I live in New Zealand now. It’s been home for me since 1990. From once-inside, now outside-looking-in, the US is so confusing to me.
