we have no land borders with other countries.
- good because of the easy peace we can have.
- bad because we lack a genuine ability to consider other cultures as real.

Most American sailors are gay. Especially the ones who are "medics" (i.e. male nurses) and claim to be in the Armed Forces when they are just Coast Guard.

I used to work for a company which was taken over by an Australian company.

The Australians had a great outlook on work, which was diametrically opposed to some of the Americans who were also involved in some of the projects.

And, no surprise, we were at least as productive with Australians in charge.

I also went to Melbourne for a meeting, and from what I saw in those 4 days, this was a fine city, with good people.
