Going back for a well-needed vacation. It's always a big trip. Even though nowadays it only takes 5-6 hours in the air, the time spent in airports, changing planes etc makes it twice as long. Not to mention the sometimes arrogant welcome you get from US immigration. They should take a charm course.
If people in the States only knew the bad reputation the US is getting abroad by making the so called war on terror an excuse for infringing on the constitutional rights of American citizens - and making foreigners feel unwelcome. It's political correctness in Texan atire.
The upcoming election is supposed to be the most important ever. Can someone tell me why, in the 21st century, that citizens in the United States still have to "register" to vote? How many less than middle class citizens are motivated by the bureaucracy involved? And why oh why is the current election concerned with who-cares-about subjects like which politician did what 30 years ago? In case people haven't noticed, we all change and mature...
I'm still vehemently proud to be an American. I just wish the crappy sides of my country and its politics were a little less protusive sometimes.
By studying horses you can learn quite a bit about human behavior too, such as flock dependency and emotions like nervousness, joy, desire for control and laziness. Subsequently, this blog is about the satisfactions of horse care and the vanity of politics. The blog is also about Castor, who was a strikingly impressive, black, large and self confident horse. Good qualities for anyone, I think.
