Tuesday

we're atypical Americans? Rats! And I so wanted to be "normal" for once.

You are, of course, correct on your point that we're not in the majority in our country. We should be, but aren't.
The vast majority of Americans simply don't take the time to examine the nuts and bolts of our government's situation. They're content to kick the tires and tell everyone else that they know what's going on, and which direction the country needs to be lead.

On second thought, I'm ecstatic that I'm not "normal."
