Eric Schlosser wrote “Fast Food Nation” and has a great opinion piece on what it means to be an American in Britain today.
…when the anti-Americanisms start coming my way, I patiently explain that I love my country but not my government, that I oppose almost every single thing that George Bush has done since taking office, that he lost the 2000 election by at least half a million votes, etc, etc. Those points usually take the edge off things.
