A shout out to The Mistrel Boy at Harp and Sword for calling attention to this piece from Wesley Clark. Read it and be proud to have been associated with a country that has since disappeared.
I fell in love with a woman today. She called me from North Carolina and I fell in love with her accent and her genuine friendliness and her willingness to be helpful and give me the benefits of her experience. I had asked for advice, on a listserv to which I subscribe in my real world experience, about negotiating with hotels in Miami, FL. I asked for people to contact me directly, versus respond by email to the list. She responded by calling me. And I fell in love. But I didn't get her name or number. That's good. My wife would have disapproved.
