Just want to make a comment...
This has nothing to do with this broadcast but would like to share it for whatever it is worth.
The other day we had at our store a very interesting customer. He was a trucker and is a Serbian. His accent was different so I asked him where he is from, so he told me Serbia. He then proceeded to share his insights about America.
What he said in essence is that "when America ceases to be good, it ceases to be great." And at present it is GOOD! How, may you ask?
He said when he lived in Serbia, he smuggled drugs, did all kinds of vile things because that was the culture. Everyone was out to best another, rob another; the clergy were encouraging their flock to go out and kill...But he said people here in America don't do that! We accept people regardless where they are from, we respect people, we treat people well. We do not look down on people because of their heritage, their ethnicity. If you are good it will motivate others to be good - so he said.
Then we told him how we have used the honorary system to sell tomatoes. We will put bags of fruit on a table outside our store with a mailbox that is bolted onto the table for people to drop their money in. And we have never lost...This was almost a shock to him....
In no way am I suggesting that America is a holy nation. Just wanted to share what one legal immigrant thinks of our country..that is all.
