"But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself."
Hey, I like that, let's extrapolate it: if you want to kill an American, any American, just kill yourself instead!
many thanks for the post.
Most Texans are worth W or better!
Double up Dubya!!! Aces High!!!
Unfortunately, it's false. Urban Legend.

It was actually written by an American professor in 2001, not by an Australian dentist last week.
BUMP!
That's a good one to end the evening on. Good night Geek and thanks for posting.

"So look around you. You may find more Americans in your land than you thought were there. One day they will rise up and overthrow the old, ignorant, tired tyrants that trouble too many lands. Then those lands, too, will join the community of free and prosperous nations.
And America will welcome them"

Disregard the question in post no. 8.

"What Is An American?
A primer."

COMMENTARY SNIPPET: "You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper there an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So I just thought I would write to let them know what an American is, so they would know when they found one."
Wow!
Which reminds me: I'm offering a bounty on the head of Osama binLaden. A bottle of Bourbon and $2000 to the soldier or troops that nail this pig-humping son of a prostitute.
Wow that is a great essay. Our strength comes from our diversity. I know there is an old joke europeans like to tell about how we are just the castoffs of european society originally- all the artistocracy and "better" blood of europe stayed there and their "losers" came to start over in America. As snooty and insulting as that image is- I love it- here we are, all on equal footing- all having the same opportunity to make of yourself whatever you want without the government telling you what to do or watching you and without the restrictions of class like in those old european countries. We're all just rolling up our sleeves together and getting to work- to make our lives better for ourselves and our families, and sharing the wealth of our knowledge and prosperity with the rest of the world. Including those elitist Eurosnobs.
That's probably true. We do have our share of "plus size" Texans. Understand, I didn't say "fat" now. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's "feelin's"
I can smell a hoax a mile away. I had a hunch this was a hoax when I read it. It was just too perfect, like that Robin Williams hoax from a while back....
