Best seen with Notes about this site Life As An American We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car that will take 5 years to pay off. We demand speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it can't go over 100 miles an hour. We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but mumble through half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner". We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time. We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen year old son run wild. We whip any enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs. We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we canmake more money so we can move back to the farm. We run from morning to night trying to keep our "earning power" upwith our "yearning power." We get upset we're spending over a billion dollars for education, but spend three billion dollars a year for cigarettes. In the office we talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when we are out at the game, the mall or on the lake, we talk about business. We're supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but we still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car. We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces. We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it. We heavily tax smokers to get them to stop smoking, while subsidizing the tobacco farmer. We buy oil from countries that hate us, and sell our oil to the country that almost destroyed our Navy. ONLY IN AMERICA ...A pizza can get to your house faster than an ambulance... ...We leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and leave useless things and junk in boxes in the garage... ...We use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place... ...We buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight... ...We use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "blood-sucking creatures".

Dakota tribal wisdom says When you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in government they often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following; 1. Buying a bigger whip. 2. Changing riders. 3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse." 4. Appointing a committee to study the horse. 5. Appointing a team to revive the dead horse. 6. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability. 7. Pass legislation declaring that "This horse is not dead." 8. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses. 9 Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed. 10. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat." 11. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance. 12. Form a quality committee to find uses for dead horses. 13. Revisit the performance requirements for horses. 14. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
