I'm back...again.

Whatever.

I've been thinking about how Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be the turkey. But the rest of the Founding Fathers were all like, "Hey, man, we're gonna make a majestic country. Ain't gonna be no turkeys here."

Okay, so they didn't actually say it like that. But you get me.

And blah blah blah the eagle ends up being the eagle.

You guys are prob'ly wondering what this stupid babble has to do with anything. Well, honestly, it has to do with the fact that, here in the good ol' USA, we're a bunch of turkeys.

Yeah, ya heard me. Sue me for treason-I dare you-because, honestly, we are no eagles. Maybe Ben Franky had a precognitive ability. They probably were eagles back in the 1700's, but not now. Definitely not now.

Nowadays we're just a bunch of lying, stealing, self-preserving bullies. We have nothing to stand for. Well, most of us, anyway. A few of us are good. Innocent. And all the other synonyms for that.

A lot of us are cowards. Bigots. Stupid. And just plain mean.

Well, I've gotta go. That's depressing enough for me.

peace til war wages,

Amee.
