You live in Hawaii, which is part of America, but far from the many assholes who reside stateside.

Me? I reside in the Central Philippines, where my Filipina wife and her family own 25 acres. We built our house and its amenities on this land. Filipinos are a wonderful people, and I don't encounter the same intolerance or racism that I did in the US.

I am surrounded here with love, luxury and a very good life.

However, I still wish America lived up to our expectations. After all, I do go back for a couple of weeks a year.
