To: Dog Gone
A couple of years ago, on a flight back from London, I got into a conversation with a man from the Netherlands who was criticizing the US for our consumption and penchant for large houses. I asked him why he was visiting the US,if he disliked us so much. He just shrugged and said, well I'm going to Alaska, that's different. No matter that he had already toured the rest of the US.

I guess it's just a mind disease of liberals, no matter what their nationality. Even John Kerry doesn't own an SUV. His wife does.
They rail against the things they love and do themselves. It's utterly bizarre.

I liked HL Mencken's answer to a similar question.
