Break from self rejection, try some introspection.

Guns are part of the American identity.

I am a pretty crazy person, so it's best for me to be on my own most of the time.

My laptop seems to know where I am, even if I don't. My cellphone asks me if I want directions to anywhere from the spot I am standing in. I buy a record online and Amazon.com sends me letters, telling me that people who bought what I bought also bought these other records.

I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.

If I could go to Kabul and not die, I would go back to Afghanistan as soon as I could. And, that was the most interesting place that I've been to.

You can say, "Well, I have a question," and someone will say, "Oh, so you hate America." And it has nothing to do with the discussion at all.
