Nyah, nyah, nyah.......

No thanks necessary......

In my ‘way back when’ time, you know when the country was young ‘n full of ‘piss ‘n vinegar’ and the europeans considered us to be a country full of bumpkins, back then we were a naive, undereducated bunch of backwoodsment who didn’t know that there was certain stuff that we couldn’t do....y’know, stuff like building railroads and highways and trains ‘n planes ‘n automobiles, back when we all thought that bigger was better so we all aspired to live high, wide ‘n handsome ‘n figgered that we were the envy of the world.
Little did we know that the world was thumbing it’s collective noses at us so when the Great War of the early twentieth century threatened to destroy all of europe, we jumped in ‘n saved their collective asses. And when the second great war erupted, why we did it again. And then we taxed U.S. citizens to pump monies into the destroyed european economies so that they could rebuild their superior nations.
So they could go back to thumbing their collective noses at us.
But they wanted our jeans ‘n our boots. And they wanted our movies ‘n our teevee shows. And Big Mac’s ‘n fries. And Coca-Cola ‘n American cigarettes. They loved our Rock ‘n Roll music ‘n they all wanted to come to Disneyland.
But we were a naive lot, so happy-go-lucky dumb that we didn’t know they were thumbing their noses at us.
And when the French lost Indo-Chine, we helped negotiate an honorable withdrawal.
And got ourselves mired in an unwinnable land war in southeast Asia. And the europeans thumbed their collective noses at us again.
And then we dreamed the really impossible dream, peace in the middle east. An area of the world rife with tribal hatreds going back to the birth of what should be mockingly called ‘Civilization’....
And europe thumbed their collective noses at us yet again.
But we’re a forgiving bunch, we Americans. Probably because we’re all a bunch of immigrants from every corner of the world and somehow we all seem to get along, prob'y becuz we're all a bunch of naive backwoodsmen who just don't know any better......
Oh, we don’t always get along peacefully. We quarrel ‘n pout, we huff ‘n puff, we air our dirty linen in public for all the world to see....but by and large, we’ve achieved in this country what the whole world really needs....we’ve become a nation of law where we sue our neighbors instead of killing them.
As the sage, Pogo, once stated, “We have met the enemy ‘n they is us.” And suicide just ain’t practical.
