Spook said: (quoted from post at 18:57:22 02/26/08) I have met several Germans and Austrians in south Florida. My dad lives down there and has several German friends, even visited a couple in the old country last year. Some local stores carry German newspapers and condiments. They have established social clubs there, and tend to stick together. They love Florida's weather!! But they seem to think that politically, we argue over the strangest things. Government medical care for example, even the conservative right wingers over there like it. They have the idea that it is the States purpose to serve the people, not corporations.
My wife (she's German) and I got married in Tennessee. It was her first trip to the States so we flew in to NY, drove a rental down the east coast to FL, back up through GA to TN and to my home in SE OH then up through the Amish Country and back over to NY and flew back to Germany. She had a ball. The motel we stayed in in FL was run by a German, the 3 ladies in the Chamber of Commerce Office were German, etc, etc, etc. Got to TN and ran across a few then went to Ober Gatlinburg and it was like stepping back to Germany. Her best time was with the Amish though. She learned the Old German that the community we were in used when she was in school so it was a treat for her and the folks we met.
As far as some of the things like free healthcare............................. free ain't always good. Think about America though, we are 231 1/2 years old. The town I live in is almost 1300 years old... we (US) ain't doin that bad.
