4. Same here!
I know how you feel! We were talking about this tonight & I try to explain to people how I feel. I don't care about being #1 or the best at anything. I want everyone to have a decent life and to enjoy their culture, religion, race sex and whatever else makes them who they are. I also want to share in their pride in who they are and where they are from and what they believe, I never feel my way is better and I don't need to make them feel as I do. I honestly have never hated anyone. My parents were like this and I always grew up hearing "Live & let live." I get accused of not being very patriotic, I love my country but I have also loved other places I lived in the world. Thirty some years ago I moved to a remote village in Turkey when I was 20 years old. I was flower child type who wore hot pants & had waist length dark hair, quite different than the locals. Although I was an odd sight to them the locals took me under their wing, Turkish women taught me to shop in the markets, families had us to dinner, and they would say "your God my God same same" They loved Americans then, there were pictures of JFK in every little shop. I was there because my husband was on a restricted tour with the military & families were not allowed to go so I went on my own, lived on the economy, tiny little cinder block hut on the Black Sea, no electric ty, no heat, very bad water but I LOVED it. I can't believe I did this now but I am sure glad I did. I loved the people People everywhere just want to live & feed their children and not be hated, I am so sad that things are the way they are today.

5. Watch out, with the way I've seen dual citizenship, loyalty to one's
ancestral home, wanting to be able to sell your goods or services with less tariffs flamed to hell and back you might want to be careful with the citizen of the world stuff

6. Agreed but there are people who you don't want to meet
who would gladly kill you.
