Words From Global Affairs

GA is a forum I frequent. I’ve learned a lot there in the six months or so since I’ve joined. There are some great folks there, from all over the world. One of them goes by the handle ShinyTop, and he wrote this today:

I have heard or read one too many times about how Americans know little of the price of freedom, how we know little of the reality of living without freedoms, how we are spoiled by our freedoms and need to listen to the lectures of people who have come here from afar and believe they hold some special knowledge.

While I will concede we have much to learn from people of other nations I will not concede they cannot learn from our experiences, that we have more to gain from the sharing of experiences.

The rest of his post is here. Check out the forum, and feel free to hang out a bit. Guaranteed that everyone will not agree with you, or you with everyone there. But we treat each other fairly.
