I've gotten a little flack for being a Yanqui Running Dog in Australia but it's in the same way the Aussies pick on the Kiwis. At least I think so -- no one's covered my seat with dog shit. I'll see if Carloscarlos has any hidden plans when I show up at his house.
The US ain't a popular nation worldwide. I don't say I'm Canadian and when asked I say, "I'm from California". It goes with the CAL plate on the bike.
US foreign policy ****-ups have been brought up by lots of Aussies, Germans and other foreigners I've met. A quick, "all governments are corrupt, and since the US is so rich, it's extra corrupt" sums it up. Feel free to use that quote. It's true and its done me good.
It never even occured to me to fly the US flag, but I love seeing other foreign travelers flying theirs.
