  • If you were alive in 1960s America, you would have seen no seat belts, significantly lower life expectancy, children still dying to smallpox and polio, and if you are ethnically from the Middle East; everyone in America would have hated you. Race riots were a massive thing in the 60s, police brutality was rampant against people of color. Even the FBI was trying to suppress race progress.

    You have presidents for decades trying to create racist drug politics to entrap only non-white non-affluent people into cyclical prison systems.

    You have so much hidden then, that happens today, but it was both hidden and far far greater.

    The ideal doesn’t exist at all and more so for someone like yourself.





  • Yes.

    Just this month I was there and the pizza is a different concept there to be sure.

    Street pizzas of thinly sliced zucchini or potato covering bread rounds with olive oil. That’s pizza in Rome.

    Focaccia bread like crust with some anchovies and potatoe? Pizza.

    Neapolitan style is just a different style again, but the theme is dough is not the delivery agent, it is the primary purpose. The dough is the important bit, with toppings being intended to enhance subtle flavors for it.

    Italian pizza is most similar in American expectations of food typically found there, to flatbread dishes. It’s flatbread with some stuff on top to accent it. There is no cheese on most of the pizza I had in the various parts of Italy I was in. Cheese was not an expected component. Healthy or at least flavorful variations on additions to the dough are the goal.

    Whether you are in Sardinia, Calabria, or Rome; pizza is pizza dough with local additives.

    I have seen French fries on top of pizza in Sardinia, and this was called there “American pizza” :)
