Bankruptocracy is as much a European predicament as it is an American 'invention.' The difference between the experience of the two continents is that at least Americans did not have to labour under the enormous design faults of the eurozone.
It behooves every American to encourage home manufactures, that our oppressors may feel through their pockets the effects of their blind folly.
How we present ourselves matters a lot, and that's every American, not just at the senior levels.
And check this out: If every American had one meat-free day per week, it would be the same as taking eight million cars off American roads in a year.
Every American, I think, should be able to fill out their taxes on a postcard.
In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.
Trophy hunters are not Everyman. These world-traveling endangered-species shooters are a far cry from the hunters who spend weekends in the American outback near their suburban or rural homes.

Middle-class Pakistani cultural life is what I've seen, what I know - they're not all screaming faceless mullahs. It's disturbing that in American films, the character on the other side is not even named.
American education has been littered with failed fads and foolish ideas for the past century.
Critics of American colleges typically attribute the failings of undergraduate education to a tendency on the part of professors to neglect their teaching to concentrate on research. In fact, the evidence does not support this thesis, except perhaps in major research universities.
