two incredibly substantiative examples of why the united states of america is the best country in the world:
1) although i have no health insurance, i just visited a doctor and got a full prescription of antibiotics. for a bottom line of thirteen dollars. no appointment. two hour wait.
2) recently an overly-enthused coworker witnessed a beautiful woman remove her left breast from her blouse to feed her baby in the middle of the restaurant. i dejectedy missed the scene. later that night i was walking through downtown. two drunk girls propping up a beautiful and even drunker third girl walked at the same pace in my direction. my brain processed something out of the ordinary. my eyes caught on moments later. the girl in the middle had her left breast completely exposed. (i was in such sheer awe of this chaotic beauty that i forgot to turn around and witness the reaction of the crowd of evangelizing baptists the girl was stumbling directly into. imagine that!)
things you can't provide for yourself and things you must never rely on a government to provide for you are things that you can ALWAYS expect -- with the right attitude and a good set of eyes -- to receive from the people of this great nation.
a. yourself; b. your family; c. the goodwill of human beings; d. your govt
yep. in that order. when we were pre-pubescent grade school dissidents that's how we fought the war. so tell me, what changed?
funny endnote memory:
-in car with my brother when i first started driving. conversation to the effect of...
---me: look, it's an open house party! there's food inside. i'm stopping.
---joey: no. keep going home.
---me: what do you mean "keep going home?" there's free food in there. we just walk in with confidence and nobody questions a thing. this is punk, man! it's not about music! it's about doing whatever you need to do to stay alive. are you embarrassed or something?
---joey: shutup. mom said dinner's ready and getting cold.
ha.
