[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

In 1984, Born in the USA was released by Comrade Bruce Ilych Springsteen. Living in 'lake country' in Eastern Ontario at the time, I met many American vacationers, both when they were visiting E. ON., and when I travelled to Upper NYS. Alexandria Bay, NY, more specifically.

I was amazed at how many young Americans, around my age, absolutely LOVED that song! While it had a good beat, the words were ANYTHING BUT patriotic, yet they still loved it! It is little wonder that America is in the mess its in! None of these idiots even listened to the words! And things have gotten even worse.

Yes, that Springsteen song was an anti-American as any ever written. Never understood the appeal of that song. Or Springstein, for that matter. His daughter will likely make the Olympic show jumping team as well. Such a patriot. Go Amerika.
