There's an old saying. If you don't want someone to join a crowd, you ask them, "If everyone were jumping off of a cliff, would you?" Well, I have. So my answer would be "Yes". True story.

A Happy American Paradox for the Fourth of July

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

this entry brought to you by nine inch nails, "every day is the same"


It being the 4th of July, I thought I'd give you this quote to think about:

"A few months ago I was outside a beer joint in Ecuador, pissing behind a blond horse named Gringa. Pissing behind his own horse was an old friend, Enrique, who was in the middle of telling me about some unpleasantness he'd recently endured at US customs in Miami. Officers there had refused to believe that a thirty-one-year-old banana republican earned enough honest bucks to own a vacation condo in Florida. Was he a narcotraficante? A terrorista? A narcoterrorista?! The interrogation concluded with an emasculating strip search, and the experience left Enrique thoroughly fed up with Americans. 'I don't mean you,' he quickly added. 'You're different.' For what it's worth, he's right: You'd never catch me rubber-gloving a rectom just because its owner looks a little Escobar-y. But my point here is that our rep has plummeted so low that it's impossible not to rise above it. Most foreigners, unless you're forcing them to play naked Twister or collaterally damaging their wedding parties, are pleasantly surprised by our lack of visible fangs. This has led to a happy paradox: While we're collectively in the toilet, we individually smell like roses.
--Luke Dittrich, as quoted in Esquire.
