Show Me the Passport.

I had a feisty conversation with some Canadians last night about whether Americans or Canadians are more internationally-focused (or really, which country was more insular). It is interesting to note that probably only 1/4 to 1/3 of Americans over 18 even have a passport. However, Mark Twain counseled caution, in a way, of travel snobbery. This having been said, I think I would err on being too well-traveled than too lightly. And, having done so, to try to keep learning humility in the process.

I dont have one. I feel no need to as I dont have any desire to leave the US.

If I want to see ruins I can go to the Travel channel...or go to the nearest projects

Nothing to do really with this post but I just hate when Canadians put our flag on their backpack.. We do it because we want to seperate ourselves from Americans but I think thats offensive towards you.. And people just make fun of us when we do it..
