I could tell you story after story about average Europeans going out of their way to help me out while travelling. Do some travelling and see for yourself. I have done more than my share of traveling. Baggage handlers at airports, concierges in hotels, meetings with locals employed by US companies, and waiters in expense account restaurants are not average Europeans. I live in an urban metropolitan city (more than half a century - but not consecutively) and I can barely understand my fellow Americans and how they feel about furrernurrs. Just how are you going to get the temperature of average Europeans as you run through airports <ggggg>? I have been there - done that (but I have also lived in Europe for 5 years). Instead of ogling at locals in International airports (they are probably from California, anyway) read the latest polls from every European country <ggggg>. I have no source - but I will bet on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah - MSM are all liars and Fox News is fair and balanced <ggggg>.

Hi Michael....How are "things" over there in Europe? Do the Europeans get any kind of 'feel' really for the American public, or do they just see NYT and it's derivatives there? Do you think the Europeans you've interfaced with have any real idea how big and diverse the United States really is? I've wondered for a long time why the United Nations wasn't set up to have a representative for each "state" within the Nation. The United States should have 52 representatives--one for each State, and an Ambassador as we do now for the Nation.
