When I last wrote, I mentioned John Perkins' book about the history of the modern American global empire. However sinister the intentions of the empire, I don't want to advocate anti-Americanism. Just the opposite, to be sure. As more and more information is now surfacing which exposes the truth about our recent wars and foreign trade deals, Americans are now, more than ever, reflecting on our bad practices and taking action to right our past wrongs. I see the USA as being a very large part of the driving force which carries human innovation and technology forward, for better and for worse. It is now the most dynamic time in the States since the '60's, with Obama in office and his grassroots movement for change being practiced all over the country. I have never been prouder to be an American since last year's election and the months that let up to it. The times they are a changin', that is for sure, and what a glorious time to be alive it is!
