The question is...Have you seen Gabriel's Hat?

I haven't been prejudiced by the locals for being foreign, but I have been blamed by another out-of-towner for the world's problems.

Being an American abroad is insightful. My image of European political debates has been deleted and the truth has been put in place. Well, they're much like anywhere else. They consist mainly of blame, broad generalizations, and are based on controlled media aka loose fact. I've never had my individuality stripped from me so quickly and a stereotype put in its place. As I said, insightful. 

The event burned my bottom at the time considering I was just trying to eat a dang Kebab at 2am but looking back I'm not too bummed. People like this exist everywhere, including the states, and they like to sputter the same smutter that everyone around them is. They just have a different name back home, Republicans. 

Hee hee! I kid,I kid!

Truthfully the lesson learned was not to get down by this event and to remind myself that I do attempt actions which are in my power to make things better for those around me. And that's all I need to live with. :-)
