Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis
'All things are changing, and we are changing with them'
My fellow American's we are now the new Rome and nothing can stand in our way!
Oh, well uh, except maybe the French, Kim Jong Il, Peace protestors (I hate them so much!), Germany, Decision 2004, Xena Warrior Princess, VX nerve gas & friends, all of Southern Asia, another Haley Barry acceptance speech, Fritos Lay products with 'Olean', Ted Turner, Apple 17" Powerbook, Nelson Mandella, Google, Star Trek fans who dress up like Klingons, Walt Disney's frozen head, .NET, improved airport security lines, and yet another tired season of the Simpsons.
All hail Caesar! All hail the new Rome!
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
Don't forget Viagra!
And edible panties!
And reality TV.
SUVs. And the Pope. Don't forget him.
We are our own worst enemies. I don't mind that other Muslim countries hate us, but it's just plain sad that people who live here hate America. They should be required to take a 2-year "enlightenment" tour of duty in *any* foreign country.
Of course, some wouldn't change their minds, because the easiest thing in the world is to find fault. But most would have a newfound appreciation of the good ole U.S.A.
And please, don't forget Madonna!
Boysen, please! Don't confuse criticism with hatred. We want our country to be better than it is acting, because we know it can.
I'm not confused, it's easy for anyone to see. It's one thing for for people to answer honestly when asked that they disagree with the President or the direction the country is heading. But since the war has been a inevitable for many weeks now, the only things the protesters are accomplishing are 1) showing the world that the United States isn't united in this endeavor; and 2) the troops can expect to receive another Viet Nam-type welcome when they return (from at least a portion of the population).
I guess my biggest gripe is with high-profile types who rave about other countries while they criticize America... all the while living here and making their (properous) living within the American way of life. They're such hypocrites.
