This IS AMERICA. Bump.

[johnboy]

when i was a child, i can recall turning phrases over and over in my mind, changing the emphasis on certain words each time, and comparing the results.

it's been two or three decades, i think, since i last did that, but somehow, the phrase: "this is america," in light of current events, causes me to do something similar.

i am having trouble, though, i find, with the third word of the phrase. not quite sure i know what that means, anymore.
