American essence

[joanna bujes]

Well, Americans have very English roots. What can I say! But the English at 
least pretend to have grown up. It's a thin pretense, but they still feel 
the need for it. Americans NOT. (All this bile may be due to the fact that 
my very handsome eighteen-year-old son has started wearing one of those 
STUPID sport hats with "Raiders" printed on it. If I say anything, he'll 
wear it forever, so I'm keeping my lips zipped and venting on lbo.
