Cousin's Perspective: No Longer American

[Char. Limit]

My dad once told me how, as kids, his side of the block was always at war the kids on the other side of the block. Why? Because THEY were on the other side of the block.

Personal bias seems to be common to borders. Here in this part of Oregon, there is a long-standing Oregon vs California thing going.

In Eastern Washington, we like to think we're better than those redneck Idahoans to the east. We also like to think that we're better than those snobby rain-loving snow-fearing Starbucks-loving wimpy Seattelites to the West. It works out somehow.

Is that the sort of thing you meant?

LOL. Good luck solving that problem by moving to France. Ever been outside the States?

Typical American.

I'm beginning to think that there's something wrong with the people in the other cubicals at work.

LOL on the signature, Char. Now everyone will think that I'm a politician.
