Growing up in public

I had a couple of years growing up in Washington DC.

I was in primary five and six or as they see in the States grade five and grade six.

on my first day I said " sorry I cannot stand for the American flag and pledge my allegiance" and I sat down I never thought anything of it as I was Scottish.

I heard later my mum was calld to the school to explain.

I find the indoctrination of that nation nowadays somewhat similar to what chairman mao did with China.

The American dream is a wonderful red herring which ensures that a few people can be held up as an example to the rest of those watching in the Colosseum that Spartacus exists.
