4. I really liked that you posted this...and understood what this poster from Sullivan's post
is talking about.

But, Average American who votes or who populates the Control in both Dem and Republican Parties are not
"Third Culture Kids." Many might have experienced being on the "Foreign Exchange Students" programs and some might come of some kind of mix of marriage and culture or have family or friends who have.

But, until that FUTURE of the "TCK's" can really take root...it will be the rest out there in America who Votes (even if the machines don't count) and who expect something that's more to what "their view" of America is or should be.

Might be a culture clash until the point where the TCK's finally can get their view across, though.

That was an excellent post...but there is a little whiff of "Better than Thou" in it...just saying...even though I do understand and think that there's good points made. And, the person is sharing experience from a younger perspective...so some hubris is expected. :D

Thanks for posting.

Peace!
