it's almost like an out of body experience. i left the us for the first time back in 1969. i was gone for a year. when i came back everything had changed because of woodstock. i still had delusions about "the american way" being best. i left again after a year feeling more and more out of synk. with the culture. every time i came back for a couple of weeks, things became more and more obvious to me how i became "deprogrammed" about the culture i was brought up in. they said love it or leave it and i left it and i love being away. i think the central idea is that there is a certain set of advantages to leaving the pot of water that is constantly getting hotter and hotter - no matter where you might find yourself. some countries are worse than others about fronting nationality and patriotism. the more of it, the greater the degree of fragmentation. of course the mass media does their share of contribution. the whole idea is just to create followers so the elite can do their thing undisturbed. most people who never have been outside the us would be shocked (positively) by the experience. it is really very healthy. right now, most people might find that it could save their lives - at least their freedom.
