BACK TO THE US of A

IT IS OFFICIAL.

KP RETURNS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (for a limited time only)

SEPTEMBER 30th- OCTOBER 21st

In celebration of the monumental occassion, here is a top ten list of
"MOST AWESOME THINGS ABOUT AMERICA"

  1. SEPERATION OF CHURCH & STATE
    • This is a concept taught to all kids in US History classes, but it is something that I never fully appreciated until I lived in a society where religion strictly dictates the laws - regardless of the religion (or absense-thereof) you choose to practice.  America wins because it supports freedom of practice & while beliefs may play influence on certain legislature - they are never founded on the sole basis of "because the Bible/Qu'ran/Vedas/ETC says so"
      • Example A: The entire country does not literally shut down for religious observances & prohibits a person from conducting their life as they choose - AKA it is not ILLEGAL to eat food or drink beverages in public during daylight hours during the holy month of Ramadan.  If you choose to practice fasting; it is your choice to do so- it is not forced on you.  While the US does close certain businesses & give holiday time off for Christmas it is not ILLEGAL to work.
      • Example B:  You have the right to wear whatever you please in public - so long as it is not indecent exposure.  You can proudly show your hair, face, knees, & shoulders without a problem.
      • Example C:  As long as you are of age (or are in the privacy of your own home) you have the right to drink & purchase alcoholic beverages.
  2. FREEDOM
  3. NO UNJUST CENSORSHIP OF PIGS
    •  Pigs & pork products are not illegal and/or banned from the country
    • Depictions of pigs are not deliberately removed in media & even children's books

  4. STARBUCKS ICED CHAI LATTE

  5. THERE ARE FOUR (4, count them) SEASONS - as opposed to HOT & HOTTER posing as two seperate seasons.
  6. DOES NOT SHARE A BORDER WITH SAUDI ARABIA
    • Instead it shares borders with 2 rad on their own accord Countries:
      • CANADA - home of Maple leaves, Mounties, & nearly legalized Marajuana.
      • MEXICO - home of mexican food & cerveza. Yum.
  7. DARREN CRISS
  8. LAND CRUISERS & A-HOLE DRIVERS DO NOT DOMINATE THE ROADWAYS
  9. TAMPONS
    • America, my ovaries thank you!
  10. MANY OF THE PEOPLE I LOVE & MISS LIVE THERE

    • Nephew Cayden & the "Devil Dog" Brody; just to name a few...You know who you all are :-)
AMERICA - I can't wait. See you soon!

XOXOX, KP
