My mom is from Trinidad and Tobago. Yeah my mom had those same problems with the whining. I read Dinesh D'Souza's book What's So Great About America and he talks about the chief benefit of being immigrant is that you come in with 'outside enthusiasm'. My parents were together for 35 years. My dad had your attitude which was responsible for my mom staying here. I agree with you about unifying. I wish we could have 9-11 unity all the time.

cyborg, thanks for your comments. Glad your family stayed...

Arne, thanks. I never thought I'd post comments that would draw such a favorable response from you, as often as we've crossed swords. Very refreshing. (NO sarcasm, btw.)
