Lmao. I always thought the dumb american who'd never left his own country was just a stereotype...

millions of the dumb ones travel the world. they are called "tourists", and are rightfully mocked the world over. ask any French waiter, lol...he would relish your quality of thinking.

France never appealed to me. I have no reason to tour old buildings or new ones for that matter. To immerse myself in the culture maybe. That was easy enough in California. I’ve eaten in the homes of Vietnamese refugees, shared lunch with Mexican nationals, shared pipeloads with Israeli architects, tents with Australian masons. I even worked in a French restaurant. Worked personal security for a British Lord. (Briefly. Failed the test.) Still did a lot of stonework for him. As a kid my dad was an expert on desert soils and on occasion we entertained guests from the Middle East. on top of that, there’s redwoods, Joshua trees, and coastline. Some of the best marijuana in the world.

i want to go to Scotland, Ireland, and maybe Spain and Portugal. the first two because...well, the country is beautiful, and that is where all of my ancestors came from. the last two, because they too are beautiful, and a friend of my wife spent a year over there teaching conversational English to middle and high school kids. she said she cried all the way back across the Atlantic after her year contract was up. we were scheduled to go to Switzerland, Sweden (have friends there) & Denmark as chaperones when the virus fucked everything up. if, by chance, i ended up in France, i want to go to the beaches where so many died . history speaks to those that listen...too many do not.

My ancestors are from Kentucky, Texas , and North Dakota to name a few. I saw Texas in my rear view mirror.

i like Kentucky (got kin there) and was in east TX a few weeks back. good barbecue and, as my brother put it "miles and miles of nothing but oil derricks, cattle, and dead armadillos..." he lived in San Antonio & Wichita Falls for years...i'd like to see the Dakotas...

You might be my 3rd, 4th, and 5th cousin on both sides.

I like what DeSantis has done with his Covid policies, but I'm always reminding people that love him to consider his cannabis policy. He and Kristin Noem in SD - another "medical freedom" governor - have used semi-illegal, dirty tricks to directly remove cannabis referendums from the ballot, preventing the population from voting on them and repealing Prohibition (DeSantis) or in Noem's case, actually struck down legalization after the people did approve it.

I urge these people to support REAL Libertarians, not the fake ones. The corporate media has almost completely blacked out reporting on these two governors and what they've done with cannabis policy, they are both absolute tyrants that piss on freedom. Along with the Democractic governors that have often done the same thing.

You bring up a good point. While there were stricter mask standards in states like Colorado and California, marijuana was legal. States where marijuana is still illegal, point to those states as if they were taking everybody’s freedom away.

And Democratic New York is getting consumption lounges owned by victims of cannabis prohibition.
