  • Thank you once again for giving us knowledge that otherwise we would not read or hear about in this country. After living in Greece for 5 years (I am both a Greek citizen and naturalized American) the second question after "what is wrong with your American government?" was " Why are so many Americans racists?"

    Before we "spread democracy (our brand name of it)" we need to spread it to our own citizens, regardless of color.
