Well my friend, I work with American people who run American companies
on a daily basis making games and applications, I have done that for
many years and I have visited my American friends on several occasions.
I'm finding it quite interesting to see that a few people want to brand
other people who feel that the current government are doing really bad things,
as "un-American", sort of like an "outcast", someone who should be
driven away(?).
Was it "un-American" to get rid of Nixon? Was it "un-American"
to impeach Clinton?
I mean, who has the soul right to dictate what you must say and think
to get the label "100% Real American"?
For example, I am very sceptical of how our current Swedish government
are running the country though I'm not branded "un-Swedish".
People in America are like people in the rest of the world, they
are mostly quite nice and since they are many they usually have
many different ideas and views on things.
Some are like some swedes and believe everything the government
and the media tell them to believe. Others again feel that
it is important to search for the "stories behind the stories".
