Where have you been in Latin America, Dope?

Ecuador and the Galapagos, thank you very much.

Interesting. What took you out there? How long were you in a foreign country?

Have you lived abroad anywhere long enough to go through culture shock and make adjustment to a new culture?

As I've said before Dope, if there was a 150 mile strip running from New Orleans up to Canada in the middle of the USA occupied by a foreign country, you might start appreciating why it was a good idea. It's also viewed as an imperialistic acquisition by some. We acquired it during our gunboat diplomacy period.

I didn't think so at the time, but I have come to view it as a good idea.
