True 'dat, Joe. I agree 100% with Joe. Joe is a smart man. Spread the word about Joe.
Gerard nails it-
The American culture of cool sees itself as the real soul and real intelligence of America, even as it actually rides on the broad shoulders of America like some strangling old man of the sea that, once taken up, refuses to get down. It sees itself as the engine responsible for making the culture of America continually new, even as it only recycles one empty cultural container after another through the battered green bins of its rigid internal codes and fashions to pop them out as 'new, improved and even more impossibly hip.'
I despair for our country sometimes...
How uncool this man was to die for his country and his comrades. How uncool is the effort to liberate a country mired in the morass of the middle ages, when you could just stay home and play video games. How uncool to take the war to an enemy that has sworn to kill Americans wholesale and has done so. How very, very uncool.
I am uncool. And damn proud of it.
If you're wondering why no posts for so long, it's simple- I've run out of room on my server. Major cleanup coming, or a new server, soon...
