This is a global experiment: a place to tell the world what you think about America and also read what other people think. What do you love about America? What do you hate about America? (Or maybe it's a love/hate thing for you?)

...in that city [New York] there is neurosis in the air which the inhabitants mistake for energy.

From Bill Maher: "But, you know, the days when a shop girl in the big city could support herself working a full 40-hour week, or a family of four could live off a single blue-collar breadwinner, are as bygone a fantasy as malt shops or heterosexual wizards. If you're living hand-to-mouth, and still buying into the con that the big threats to America are socialized medicine, Mexican immigrants and tax increases, then you're not being kept down by the rich. You're being kept down by you.

In America, it's not the haves and have-nots. It's the haves and the been-hads. If you, the citizen, deliberately vote for someone who won't give you health care over someone you will, you need to have your head examined. Except you can't afford to have your head examined."
