A read that you and many others here would probably enjoy is A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins.
Jenkins was a young man troubled by what he was seeing in his nation and decided to walk across it to see for himself what he would find among the people of America.

Thanks! The thing that hits me funny is that most of those that hate us because of what they were taught find out they were lied to once they meet us.
I recommend it too.
