I was writing a long diatribe, but gave up halfway through in disgust. Suffice it to say that boorish, racist (etc etc) Americans deserve to be taken advantage off if they dare to leave the comfortable land of Walmart and McDonalds. They might A) learn some manners for next time (unlikely) B) decide to stay home and vacation at Disneyland next time (very beneficial for the remaining world travellers). -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Kevin Innes Where have the years gone? Why, into the usual vices of the romantic idealist: into sloth and melancholy, each feeding upon and reinforcing the other, into love and marriage and the begetting of children, into the strenuous maneuvers of earning a living without living to earn, into travel and play and music and drink and talk and laughter, into saving the world - but saving the world was only a hobby. Into watching cloud formations float across our planetary skies. But mostly into sloth and melancholy and I don't regret a moment of it. -Edward Abbey. |
