Tell me it ain’t so!
How I was taught to write a sentence.
“You always start a sentence with a capital letter” said Miss Butler, my third grade teacher, “..and you always end with a period” she concluded. So it is, I find reading headlines with every word beginning with a capital letter hard to read. I deem the practice a sign of illiteracy or deliberate provocation. It has to be one of the two. If one would posit such writing is fashionable I would say, “Bah! Humbug!”
If you are crazy…
America should be your country of choice. Mass murderer, pathological liar, serial rapist, racist, child molester or just a person who would see pink pigs flying at sunsets, America will justify your behavior. If you are considered ’white’ and you are creative in your deviations, you can rest assured of getting the ‘Red Carpet’ treatment from the media and you may become rich during or after the process!
It is said if you tilt America, all the crazy people will slide southerly with many ending up in Florida.
Most American teen-agers are told you are lucky to have one good friend in life. If you have two good friends, they say you are blessed and if you say you have three good friends, you are lying. It is due to the fact every third person in America is crazy; friends and relatives alike.
Founding fathers envisioned a perpetual plantation
At best, they saw some parts of the English frugal system beneficial to their cause here in America just as the Obama administration has preserved various positions of the Bush administration i.e., permanent detainees in Guantanamo Bay, wire tapping etc..
Do pollster owners have favorite charities?
There is so much talk about which candidate has the most money in his/her campaign chest makes you wonder if some of the money is ‘donated’ to various charities favored by the pollsters. Help makes the candidate feel good. (Smile)
As always,
