    Remember that “Anti-American” doesn’t sound crazy to people who grew up inside the USA.
    As Noam Chomsky pointed out,”If you called Italians Anti-Italians, they would just be laughing, it wouldn’t make sense to them.”

      Lezley Noel we are now challenge d to recall what being in American means. The thing I always found strange was that any "left" political ideas were immediately to in a derogatory way without consideration or discussion (ie
      any question to Mr. t being unanswered and brushed aside as not worthy as he responds by asking if the reporter was from CNN that he labels "fake". How can elementary school bullying and name calling stop grown ups from exercising
      Our right to a
      Free press and free speech so dead in its tracks? And why aren't neo Nazis, old rich white men and right wing christians
      Who harshly dismiss and don't allow any ther Americans to speak, another Right denied, are not referred to as the Right's " SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS"???

    Back then it was filter coffee but in the UK it was difficult to find filter coffee in cafes so I often had to go to pizza restaurants.

    Question why is it set in the states. Love the answer. And the laughter. Love they can find a home in Canada. Free.

    For me, the begging of the story is a bit hard to fell in.
    All of the systematic procedures and rituals are would be tricky to establish, yet there are some characters that were so very familiar with procedures and ext. that it felt unnatural..
