Got them WMD's! Got that Pandemic!
Warning: Rambly tired phone post.
Having spent time all over the US on Business, coming home to Ireland each time made me realize that the acceptable, often vitriolic stereotyping of Americans, was pretty off base. For example In West Virginia I took a week off to visit distant relatives. Yeah, they were rural coal workers with multiple firearms per person, and conservatives, but they were incredibly nice, friendly, well adjusted and capable of having friendly, intelligent conversations on subjects we didn't see eye to eye on. You get over the ingrained idea that a rednecky accent means stupid pretty quick when you realize everyone thinks mine means violent alcoholic. People are different everywhere, the US is large enough to have a hugely diverse range of cultures. I like you guys, though some might rub me the wrong way. But I feel the same about my neighborhood, my town, my county and the entire republic of Ireland.

Also thank you for introducing me to grits :911:
