This story, and especially the video is amazing, Joel.

I have only watched the first twelve minutes, so far, and all you say is so very true in my experience.

I have archived this piece, as I want to watch the rest of the video.

Americans don't have a clue about 'quality of life'. At this time I cannot imagine living in the States again. The poverty of sprit there is most distressing of all.

Thanks so much for sharing this moving story!
