I am a Swedish, middle-age man visiting Chicagoland for five months. Every time I return to America, my admiration for this country, and above all its people, increases ever more. It’s a generous country with deeply rooted humanitarian, social and democratic values. With savvier public relations professionals representing the country, even more people in the world would know about these values rather than the cowboy messages that command the radio and television and Internet waves throughout the rest of the world.
There are also opinions among a majority of the American people, however, that are confusing for other democratic countries. What concerns me most is capital punishment. It doesn’t make sense for me that the U.S. still persists in using capital punishment in its crime-solving quest.
