What do you think when you hear the words, “United States”?

Ambivalence

• Hegemon
• New birth of freedom
• Individualism gone berserk
• Lofty ideals
• Opportunity
• Smugness
• Some of my best friends are American 🙂

So, who do I got to apologise to?

(Looks it up.)

States I forgot:

• Missouri
• Utah (WOW)
• Kentucky
• Arkansas
• New Hampshire (WOW)

States I misplaced:

• CO
• IO
• NE
• KS (not KA)
• TN
• MN
• VE

Honestly? Better than I expected.
