How long do you have?
The nation which invents McDonald's and then lawyers who sue them for making people fat. Who produce some of the best and brightest minds I know... And Rush Limbaugh. Who happily go to war in Gods name then completely flip their shit at the threat of nationalised healthcare. Where a substantial number of people think the solution to gun crime is more guns, where nobody actually follows the 10 commandments but people get hysterical if you don't have them on the wall. Where the unborn are precious, then no one gives a shit til they're old enough for the army, then they're precious for a bit again, then get discharged. Where the opposition party can shut down the government. Where there is a wall of separation between Church and state but it's still called one nation under God.
It's a bit like in mib. A person is intelligent. People are dumb panicy animals. An American is lovely. Americans are scary as shit.
Sorry. Probably just me.
WOW.
That's a lot to bite into.
Maybe we can chew on it in another thread.
I generally dislike that sort of anti-'country' characterization.
It seems pretty unreasonable.
...just sayin is all.
