It's easy to talk of American exceptionalism.
But what do we have to show for it?
An economy that's on the verge of collapse.
A military that can't win wars.
A democracy which is no longer a democracy.
A citizenry more divided than united about almost everything.
Except maybe . . . how exceptional we are!
The U.S. is now considered the greatest threat to world peace on the planet.
I guess that puts us in a class by ourselves.
But . . . exceptional?
Disturbing yes. Probably embarrassing. Unprecedented perhaps. Maybe shameful.
But exceptional? To whom? By what measure?
Aah . . . by our own exceptional standards!
In a land of pigs, bacon is a sacrament.
Oink oink!
