You seem to think a willingness to live elsewhere is anti-American
I don't understand that.
No one said anything about going somewhere "better."
I'd be thrilled to experience life in the UK because it's part of my heritage (on my father's side) and I love history. Same for Sweden (my mother's side). I think Germany would be fascinating, as would Japan. Australia and New Zealand would be wonderful.
I'd certainly settle for being a tourist, but in the end that's only good for snapshots. It took me ten years in this country to begin to feel like an American. If I were single, I'd jump at the chance to live for a decade in any of the places I mentioned.
Does that make me a bad American, or a poor citizen? Do I have to denigrate other countries in order to demonstate a love for my own?
