Interesting morning

I just finished meeting with a couple of documentary film makers from Australia. They are traveling across the US interviewing 'ordinary' Americans for a documentary. They knew a lot about America and had been here before; really interesting people, themselves.
They asked questions like, 'What do think it means to be an American?,' 'What is the American Dream to you?,' 'What is good/not good about America?' They asked about global warming, 'Do you think you see signs of it?' They had a few questions on politics and race, patriotism, capitalism. They said they are meeting some interesting people in the US. They are headed to the Mississippi Delta region and to the southwest, then Alaska. I referred them to some of my contacts in those places.

They're interviewing all kinds of Americans, conservative, liberal, all races and religions, political parties, economic backgrounds. It was good to give some input from this Native's perspective of America.
