[Long Cut]

I'm not going to jump on the mods. They've got a thankless job right now, and one can only imagine the stress going on behind the scenes. I'm sure they've got their divisions among themselves, as well.

All we can do here is try to make their jobs easier by NOT engaging in the flamewars. I don't want them to have ANY excuses to pull this thread or ban any of us over this.

Make no mistake, that's one of the goals of the trolls that show up here.

Good monring y'all.
A warm, sunny, summer-like day here so
I "hope" I have the willpower to spend most of it outdoors.

Forget their lists!
Here's one which I hope will put smiles on your respective faces.

I really do love this country, but...

1. Only in America... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

2. Only in America... are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

3. Only in America... do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

4. Only in America... do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

5. Only in America... do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

6. Only in America... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

7. Only in America... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

8. Only in America... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

9. Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

10. Only in America... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille.

Oh, I'm sure they do, and this isn't to lump onto them by any stretch. But there are those among the mod ranks who are pretty quick on the trigger finger (and who even suspended me twice - once for posting a Palkot article, and then again after a sarcastic remark on my return).
