Five Things I’ve Learned About America
- It's the poorest among us who pay for Americans' love for drugs.
“Its a wonderful thing to be able to help someone and say, “Your worst day is behind you, we’re going to do better from here on.”
- I'm so happy that America's independent bookstores and public libraries exist.
“I didn’t grow up around bookstores. My mother had books in our house and we had a little school library.”
- We need to work together to see the DarkSky.
“I read recently that 85% of children will never see the Milky Way, because we are so urban in the world.”
- There's no need to fear the border.
“We have a long tradition of real division between the races here – in all of Texas, but particularly here.”
- I can't imagine living anywhere else.
“I love people that are bicultural. I’m just more oriented to people who know Spanish…I think its one of the most remarkable parts of the United States and I’m very proud to live here.”
