@GreggGraison @WajahatAli I see you consider yourself to be a traveler. How long have you been removed from the United States? Has it been the last 25 years?
@GreggGraison @WajahatAli Do you read history or do you just read about history from second-hand sources who are presenting fiction as fact? Do you believe the roads here are paved in gold, because nowadays you can barely drive your gaddamned car over them without fear of disappearing into a sinkhole.
