My parents teased me for not marrying a good German girl. (She's Scots-Irish-German). Itkovian and I would both move to Germany if we could get our wives to go along with it. (Fat chance there.) He was with me when a group of us restored the grounds of a historic church built by Friedrich der Grosse in Berlin. He fell in love with Germany after one week. I took me more visits and a lot of interaction in the homes of my German friends to begin to appreciate all their country has to offer.Don't get me wrong. The U.S. is a great place. But there are a number of aspects of German culture to which I am much more inclined. Both countries have their dark side. I mean, we can't all be perfect like the Brits, but right now, I'd choose living in Germany over the U.S.  I see very dark days ahead for the U.S. and within my lifetime. When the general populace is giving the government a 20 - 30 percent trust rating; very troubling times are just around the corner.</blockquote>
