Asked my young Walmart cashier a question yday. She sort of shrugged shoulders and said she was still learning English. No worries. I asked her where she was from. She looked so afraid to answer it startled me.

Ukraine.

I told her Putin needs to die. She smiled with relief. Then I said, "Slava Ukraini" and got another smile. Hope I pronounced it correctly.

The fear. I wish 10 thousand plagues and hemorrhoids on anyone who makes this woman (or anyone else) afraid to say where they're from.
