Thursday. thursday...Flora displays her massive inability to discuss or characterize American politics. (quotations liberally paraphrased)
Frank from Holland: Why do all Americans rally behind their president? Thats the picture the media paints abroad.
Moi: Uh, there are lots of people who oppose Bush.
F: Thats not the idea we get at all. Why don´t they do something?
M: They try. Lots of people protested against the war. There just isn´t a strong democratic leadership right now.
F: But it seems like they just make decisions and everyone agrees with it
M: Well, there are 250 million Americans and only 400 odd in Congress. Its hard for the votes to be representative of everyone....it becomes a personal decision as well. But lots of people are upset over what is happening!
F: Why don´t they act? Everyone just supports Bush!
M: uh....no....
F: At least thats the image we get in Europe.
Maestra Vida again- and even a smidgen of live music:-)
