Of course I'm biased, Ron. Everybody is biased in that sense.   Everyone has a natural tendency to believe in and back the values that were around them when they first came into this existence. They take it for granted.

However, growing up in 2 different countries does give a person a bit more awareness of possible options, I think. It's an eye-opener. You don't take stuff quite so much for granted after that. I totally supported the British empire traditions in my mind when I was a little boy. I was innocent, and they were my 'good guys'. By the time I became an adult I began to see that the British themselves had gone out aggressively into the world and done many of the sort of things I now criticize the USA for doing. They inflicted their way of life on other people for their own gain, caused a lot of bloodshed and exploitation, and pretended to be doing it for all kinds of very laudable reasons.

I am as sceptical of British intentions now as I am of American or Russian or Chinese intentions.

And I am fully aware that I am biased, and I even poke fun at it sometimes. It's the people who are completely unaware of their habitual biases that worry me. They can be dangerous.
