Enlightened Blue State Explorer "Discovers" America

A cool story about driving (riding?) a Seqway cost to coast across the United States can be found here.

An interesting quote found within:

So what have you discovered about America?
We discovered a lot of interesting things. People naturally build up a lot of stereotypes about certain areas--that some parts of the country are going to be really boring or backward--and that's not true. We discovered that there's a lot of humanity everywhere in the country.

People are very kind and open. We heard a lot of great stories, and we learned a lot about opportunity. I think there's a lot of truth to the idea that America is the land of opportunity, but you've got to work hard and be willing to take risks.

Hmmm. Imagine that! People in the backcountry are very kind and open. Who would have thought such a thing could be true?

Du Doch Nicht!
