LOL! Sorry for the spamalot! But seriously, we lose so damn much perspective in America.
Maybe that's what makes us so great. If a Chinese child with water wings hops off the diving board into the kiddie pool, we Americans expect ourselves to launch an array of synchronized swimmers with fireworks and marching bands---or else we're a failure and traitors to our founding fathers!
I feel all warm and fuzzy after seeing THAT list!
