I won?t deny that living in the UK has changed my perspective on the current goings-on in the United States. I am no longer cocooned inside America (geographically, socially and politically), and have acquired a certain degree of outsider status. However, over my lifetime I have been fully socialized into American culture, and thus have exported it with me. I hope that this mixture of insider and outsider will give me a unique and valuable perspective on current events taking place on both sides of the Atlantic.
