shaz, how sad to think the way you do, optimism is never childish, kindness to strangers eliminates predudices, as the quote is from religeous doctrine, be kind to strangers, you nevr know when you may be entertaining angels unaware(not the direct, quote)disregard for the class system? I don't know what you mean but sure there are warped sense of humor. We do believe in equality. That's why some of our most famous people are from other countries.

conversely, maybe they can bring down a machine from San Fran to blow the smog out of LA
soccr, I suppose the US is quite boring, with nothing like tsunamis to keep the tourists pouring in......and the other problem with the US is the doggone media, for if there were a tsunami coming here, the stupid bastards here would have tried to see who could be the first to tell us....

Can no one appreciate the unique beauty of our interstate highways, with ribbons of monotonous white concrete broken only by occasional strips of asphalt? And as if this is not enough, the artistic creations are embellished by colorful billboards, proclaiming the superiority of products, blotting out the plight of the downtrodden who reside beneath.
Boring? My goodness, hardly. We are just missing the point. This must be cutting edge tourism. Why else would an intelligent society allow such creativity? It's obvious, we have to learn to appreciate it....

Also with Florida are those crazy Keys - h**l we all have keys at home, in our pockets, in the car - what's the draw about warm weather, trade winds and sunsets? Like the sun doesn't go down every day.......

And another thing. The weather. I mean!
I think Chicago and Detroit got started because a bunch of people in New York said, 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough and I want more snow. Let's go west.'"
jor -- killing myself would be redundant, since I've lived in Philadelphia.
