LH:

You should see the movie Bound For Glory if you haven't all ready.

Yess I realize the argument was going both ways in West Side Story. When I was writing that post I suddenly realized when I was beating on Bobert about his statement about so many American living in 3rd world conditions I dod not think about PR. There are some 3rd world conditions there but hopefully not as bad or extensive as other countries in the Caribbean.


BUT, with out America there would be no Jay and the Americans singing:

Only in America
Can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire

Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars

Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
