Heck, I didn't go to the Heritage Festival to eat. I went to learn something.
For example. at the Scottish booth I discussed history with one of the attendants and asked him if he thought Scotland was better as an independent country or after England conquered them. I was surprised by his answer.
At the Eastern Europe booth I met a guy who had recently visited Croatia and Slovenia and asked him if he thought the Balkan countries were better off under the dictatorship of Tito than they are now. Very interesting answer.
There was a lady from Ukraine and I asked her how she feels about the Russians. Of course she was very critical of the Russians because they try to take land from other countries and dominate them. I thought the Mexicans would have said the same thing about Americans after we fought them in 1846 and took a lot of territory from them.
All in all, a very interesting evening.
