The Blessing of Ignorance

Dennis is back from Greenland and Julie is in Italy as they discuss the benefits of travel.  Travelling broadens your perspective on what a privilege it is to live in the United States.  It also makes you realize the general ignorance of Americans, especially when it pertains to communism in eastern Europe.  Americans don’t understand communism …like citizens of communist countries don’t understand freedom.  Americans have an international reputation of being ignorant, and while the ignorance of communism is bad… the ignorance of evil is worse.  Dennis’ mustard analogy applies for tradition and culture, but it doesn’t apply to values and morality.  On the upside… the international view of Americans is that we are friendly, open, and trusting.  Freedom produces trust… authoritarian states breed distrust.  Do you ever consider the miracle of your existence? Americans are lucky that English is spoken around the world.
