I would hope a foreigner to these shores wouldn’t judge the whole country by one out-of-control NY cabbie, and I guarantee my daughter and her friend didn’t judge the CR by that one. After it was over (they were terrified at the time) they thought it was hilarious. And found some proper CR currency.

It’s been so exciting to see all those Eastern European countries and their people emerging on the world stage. Back during the cold war they hid all those beautiful women. We thought they all looked like Nina Kruschev. For the most part, I’ve found folks from Eastern Europe to be hard working, decent, honest folks who have a far less cynical view of life and the world that most Americans.

I think it was understandable the way the cabbie behaved. It has been very exciting to see those countries who were under the Soviet thumb being liberated, and now thriving.

Thankfully, they had a great model to follow...the good ole USA.

I hope we will return to that proven and successful model after the next election.

The Communists lied to their people less than our media does.

".....I’ve found folks from Eastern Europe to be hard working, decent, honest folks who have a far less cynical view of life and the world that most Americans......."

I've spent a LOT of time in Hungary, Czech Rep, and Poland...and I couldn't agree more. Also about the women...
