[Who is John Galt?]

Have to admit that some of the old Soviet humor is getting more & more applicable in these United States:

Worker 1: "Hello, comrade! How are you today?"

Worker 2: "Average."

Worker 1: "What do you mean, 'average'?"

Worker 2: "Worse than yesterday, and better than tomorrow - you know, 'average'!"

[ansel12]

That is very apt for the general mood today in America.

Easy joy, surprise belly laughs, an underlying happiness and comfort, enthusiastic smiling eyes, a spring in everyone’s step, all things we don’t see much today.
