I am married to a Canadian. My wife Nancy was born and raised in Canada, and received her US citizenship several years ago. After the events of the past two weeks at the Olympics, I wonder if she might not want to turn in her passport.
Chad Hedrick. Shani Davis. And then, Bode Miller.
Americans all. Brash, loud, self-concerned. Disappointing.
Someone needs to show these people this word. I doubt any of them have ever considered its meaning.
But then, there are little glimmers of hope. Take Chip Knight, (go, read!, sign up might be required, but worth it) for instance. And then there is always my personal favorite, Kelly Clark.
We Americans have a ton of work to do on our humility factor. Perhaps people like Kelly and Chip, can show us the way.
