Jason: You have been here for more than four years and have more than 3000 posts, and they always come down to the same thing:

• Americans are stupid;
  
• Americans are fools;
  
• the unwashed American masses don't deserve.....*fill in the blank with some left-wing politican or celebrity*
  
• only in America could...... *fill in the blank with some terrible thing*
  
• The same patronizing, world weary tone.
  
• The same tormented truth-teller routine.
  
• The same anguished prophet posture.

Ye gods, man, find a new shtick. This one is as old as the hills.

And, to that dauntless temper of his mind,
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour
To act in safety."
