thoughts to ponder about americans... A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but wont cross the street to vote in a national election. - Bill Vaughan We yell for the Government to balance the budget, and then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car that will take five years to pay off. We demand speed laws that will stop fast driving, but wont buy a car if it cant go over 100 miles an hour. We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but mumble through half the words in the Star Spangled Banner. Well spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, and then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time. We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen-year-old son run wild. We whip an enemy in battle, and then give them the shirt off our backs. We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we can make more money so we can move back to the farm. We get upset that were spending over a billion dollars for education, but spend three billion dollars a year for cigarettes. In the office we talk about baseball, shopping, or fishing, but when we are out at the game, at the mall, or on the lake, we talk about business. Were supposed to be the most civilized nation on earth, but we still cant deliver payrolls without an armored car. We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces. Were the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it.
