Here is a topic that has been on my mind for a while. When I saw the events unfold on 9/11, I sincerely thought that the President was going to ask all Americans to stop being hyphenated Americans. I hoped that he would say that we are all just Americans and that an attack on any one of us is an attack against all of us.
My ancestors came from Scotland, so I guess I am a Scottish-American. We have four or five generations born in America and we never referred to our family as Scottish-Americans. We are just Americans. I think it’s time that we stop being hyphenated Americans like Spanish-Americans, or African-Americans or any other hyphenated American. If you are an American citizen, you are an American. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying don’t be proud of your heritage. I just think that the hyphen divides us as a nation while the name “American” unites us. What do you think?
Justin Bieber wants to retire. Yawn.
I see that Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty is back in the show. That's the power of social media. Now I would like everyone to petition a publisher to offer me a book deal. Go!
