please excuse this blog but this is me standing up on a soap box ranting:

just finished watching part one of the becoming american: the chinese experience on kcet. it was a really good ep filled with history behind why the chinese came here and why they kept coming. it made me realized how lucky we all are because of the freedoms we have here today that our ancestors had to fight for. yea sure we can complain about all the corruption and lies in corp. america and capitol hill but sometimes i think we take for granted how lucky we really are ... think about all those peoples back in the 19th century who came to america hoping for a better life for their families ... of course i'm not trying to paint some picture perfect view america, i have a lot of problems with our country but at the same time i rather be here then anywhere else.
