It has to be America. I was in Times Square last week, and Times Square is one incredibly big Triangle. You have like only-God-knows-how-many people moving, running, singing, sighing, kissing, staring at the free-falling indices, playing, praying and cursing.
What was most touching was that, in this very Fatherland of capitalism and consumerism, just a short distance form Times Square, and near Wall Street, there was this lady distributing pamphelts on vegetarianism and PETA. Of all things, vegetarianism. It could mean only one thing. America, for all its attributes, is the land of the free spirit. Of conviction. I doubt if that lady could change the concrete mindsets of anybody passing by her. But that didn't stop her. Conviction beyond convenience.
It has to be America.
