Things I like about America

[Ian Gills]

It's about time I did one of these to keep some of you off my back for a bit.

As I have said before, the burgers here are the best in the world. That is my most favorite part about America.

But I also like the wide roads.

The cheap gas is nice too (but it would be even better if you would use less of it to stop warming the planet - ahem).

I like the way they pack your bags for you at the grocery store.

I like the cheap, American beer.

I like the way you can buy almost anything on the internet (but again the transport of it to my house from California must be heating the planet - so time to stop).

I like Obama - well done on choosing that one.

I like liberals. Someone has to.

I like the way you can tell someone's political persuasion by what they look like, how they wear their hair (and makeup) and how they dress.

I like that there is not much swearing in the streets.

I like the way that no one knows how to fight so there is no thuggery.

I like the Spring here (but it's too short) and the Fall as well (but again too short).

I like air conditioning.

I like the cheap shoes you can buy here.

And that, for now, is about it.
