Well woo hoo.
We were in Europe for most of the summer and people were wonderful to us everywhere we went, Brittain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium.
No one held us responsible for the actions of our elected officials anymore than we held them responsible for the actions of theirs.
If you don't act like an ugly American, you won't be treated like one.

Seeking the approval of others shows a lack of self esteem. Seeking that approval through the proxy of an idol is demented

There is a difference between seeking approval and getting feedback.

I certainly agree with that.
