If you ever go to the Smithsonian campus in DC - always eat at the cafe in the National Museum of the American Indian. It is a real treat - beating all the other museums for quality and menu.

American language keeps drifting to extremes: a tasty burger is now ‘awesome,’ a contrarian remark is ‘hate speech.’ Heroes vs. Villains. The middle ground is vanishing. We shower friends with over-the-top praise while casting those outside our group as monsters.
