[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1074742, member: 18006"] Amy and I have few regrets in life; one of them is that when we married, I moved to Kentucky instead of her moving to the Twin Cities. We've regretted that almost daily for years, but we thought it made sense at the time. But our biggest regret is this... her first husband was a Kiwi, and she lived 2 years in New Zealand - but it wasn't long enough to be eligible for New Zealand citizenship. If she'd gained that, we'd have sold everything we owned and moved there many years ago. Now, we're stuck here for the rest of our lives. It's painful for her to remember what it felt like to live here, compared to what it is (and will be) like to live here. I've known for almost 50 years that what is happening now would inevitably happen here; I just didn't expect it to happen in my lifetime. I'd rather have been wrong about the first detail than the second; and it isn't even specifically about the politics - it's more the complete collapse of our society. Who we are as a people. There are just too many differences between different parts of the country for the country as a whole to agree on enough common values and priorities... it's[I] too much[/I] of a melting pot. That's a societal vulnerability that will never change. As far as Antetokounmpo is concerned (I figured that he should be referred to by his last name, as is customary, at least once in this entire thread:D), I found this article interesting, refreshing, and well-written. According to this, there may be reason to believe you're right. The man seems to feel he hasn't accomplished everything he wants to accomplish in the NBA, and that this really matters to him.
