Politics

It is strange to know that today is 9/11, and be removed from it.

Yesterday my English teacher, who likes to grill me with questions about America, asked if I would even think about today being the anniversary of 9/11. Of course I said I would be thinking about it, even if I am across an ocean.

So far, this English teacher is the only person from whom I get the impression that she doesn't like Americans.

She has asked me in a slightly agressive manner, if most of the U.S. agrees with the war. I said that by this point, most of the country is against it. She then asked if this meant people openly disagreed with our President, and I said absolutely.

She then said she thought it was unpatroiotic to talk badly about one's President, and that we should stop talking about it. I was slightly taken aback, as the beauty of America is the freedom of speech, and the ability to express our own opinions. But I am lucky, as she is the only person I have encountered thus far who seems to have anything against Americans.

On a lighter note, the furance has been fixed, so I am going to indulge in a hot shower before school!

Love,
Kelsey
