Not to mention the open invitation this is to all those who dislike the USA for reasons bad, good, and indifferent. THAT one has me the most concerned. I think YOU should have something more productive to do with your time. Here's a section of E.J. Montini's column, quoted from the Arizona Republic, March 5 1995. Crime - that's and obscenity.
Poverty is an obscenity.
So is governmental bureaucracy. It's undeniably obscene that Americans die for lack of health care when we supposedly have the finest health-care system in the world. Congressional privileges are obscene, and political-action committes, and elected hacks who bow down to party bosses rather than listen to voters in their home states. I find it particularly obscene, also, when the people we send to Washington to solve our most grave and difficult problem decide that our most grave and difficult problem involves people who burn American flags. Still, there's room for a compromise here.
