Face of America

I know the might seem so narrow minded. But hopefully I do not offend anyone. When people ask me what I think of when I think of America: this picture pretty much sums it up. Strong, southern, cowboy men, driving big trucks, drinking a beer (no light beer) and listening to patriotic country music. I know that I shouldn't think this is your "typical" American, but I just can't get this image out! The funny thing is that my step dad is exactly like this type of man. In December he will be serving is second year in Afghanistan. Even though I think he is a great guy, I disagree with almost everything he says or believes. He is extremely narrow minded and believes we should stand by anything and everything the country decides to do. You would think that because I don't believe this is the image America should have that I would change it. Trust me, I want to, but it's just really hard. The instant you say America: this is what I think. I hope one day, the image of being "American" will change.
