Ufologically Speaking, Why the World Hates America
Albuquerque. A strange name in a strange place. In Albuquerque lives a woman called Lesley. She doesn’t get out much. She’s interested in UFOs and she does a daily blog news thing about them. One day she discovered there was something called foreigners. She was puzzled. She worked out that foreigners live somewhere else, usually not in the same country as her and they either spoke English with a funny accent or, and this was really difficult for her to get her head round, they didn’t actually speak English at all. How could that be? And, where else was there to live if you didn’t live in the USA? In the sea? In Russia with all the communists or that place called Eyerack with the tourists?
She puzzled about this and it caused her angst. And then one day there was a loud metal hitting wood kind of noise inside her head. She realized it was the sound of a penny dropping. It was like a religious revelation: There are other people in the world and they have UFOs too. Hallelujah

God preserve me please. I can’t take it any longer.

Aw! Don’t be too hard on her. If you grew up in an education system that taught the same local two hundred-odd years of history over and over—virtually ignoring classical or European history outside of two world wars, I daresay your POV would be pretty screwed up too.

I think Lesley may once again need guidance and leadership from Alfred on her new project.
Check out this exchange between Lesley and Alfred on The Duke of Lehmberg's blog. It's sad and yet funny as hell.... A pass-the-koolaid moment.

You make me feel as though I am ready to go, but am I evolved enough to? I wonder.

I suspect that those of us who are not... will be stepping aside of those of us who are. Isn't that the way it's always been?

BTW, I assume you mean the United States of America. America is the name of the entire continent; people living in Brazil or Canada are Americans just as much as people born in the US.

Odd Emperor--When Arthur's posting about Albuquerque, it reads as a given the America being discussed is the U.S. of A.
Come to think of it. I've never known Canadians, Central or South Americans identify themselves as Americans.
Note to Arthur--Any idea who is John Ford? Alfred has written many pained, disjointed blogs on this man, who is in prison. I've done searches and come up with nothing.
I'd ask Alfred myself, on his blog, but he doesn't take anonymous posters.

The Odd Emperor was simply picking a nit. Of course we understand that Albuquerque is in the US. (At least we think so!)
However, I’ve run into some people in South America who will correct someone in the US when they make an arrogant statement like “I’m an American.” – “Well I’m from Brazil and I’m an American too!”. I’ve never run across a Canadian who said that but, any reasonably educated person in the ‘Americas’ should agree that anyone living between the Arctic and Tierra del Fuego is living on the American Continent. Sir Paul Kimbling might be able to enlighten us on that score.

LOL! He might be on another expedition. We may not want to trouble him.
Hey, thanks 'anonymous' for those John Ford links.

'anonymous' - I read the John Ford links. That is a shitty situation.
