The Sadness of America

[John Doe]

yup...good reply...I share that ambivalence, just like
I had the Love/Hate relationship with Manhattan when I
lived there years ago...I'm glad I'm in this
country...I love it....but...if I were independently
wealthy...I would probably be living in Florence or
Iceland or the Seychelles...lol!..as for violent,
perhaps we are...hard for me to argue that one....can
anyone say 'Bowling for Columbine'?...I don't
know..lol..the film amused me... and raised a few
interesting questions...but the part I found most
appealing was the Canadians who didn't lock their
doors! Because I usually don't either, on the
assumption that I just can't imagine the odds running
such that the would-be burglar would happen to pick my
place when he can target the guy with the really huge
entertainment system down the steet...I'm sure I will
learn a hard lesson someday about that!...
