2 AMERICAS

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TWO AMERICAS. THE WEALTHY AND THOSE WHO HAVE LED LIVES TO NOT BE. LIBERALS WHOSE MIND SET PREVENTS THEM FROM CHOOSING TO CROSS OVER INTO CONSERVATIVE THINKING. WRITERS WHO INCORPORATE ELITIST BUZZ WORDS INTO THEIR TEXTS, SUCH AS SHEPHERD, NAVIGATE, SHUTTER AND SEAMLESS, OR ERUDITE ALTERNATIVES SUCH AS NARTHEX, CONTUMACIOUS OR NUGACITES AND THOSE WHO EXPRESS THEMSELVES LIKE PLAIN FOLKS WOULD UNDERSTAND USING SYNONYMS SUCH AS GUIDE, MOVE, CLOSE AND SMOOTHLY AND SIMPLER TERMS, VESTIBULE, REBELLIOUS AND USELESS. THE PARENTS AND CHILDREN WITH ENTHUSIASM AND COMPETITIVENESS IN A PARTICULAR SPORT THAT LEADS TO MANIC BEHAVIOR AND DRUG USE (MARION JONES, THE OLYMPIC RUNNER, IS THE LATEST TO BE OUTED FOR STEROID USE) AS OPPOSED TO THOSE WHO SEE THEM AS UNREASONABLE. THE PITIABLE CONDITION OF EDUCATION TODAY IS READILY UNDERSTOOD WHEN THE COACH OF A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM CARRIES ABOUT A 37 PAGE SCOUTING REPORT AND A VIDEO REPORT AND HIS PLAYERS REVIEW THE ACTIONS OF A SCOUTING TEAM THAT HAS BEEN PLAYING IN THE MANNER OF AN OPPONENT. NO STUDY OR LEARNING CAN OCCUR BEYOND THE ATHLETIC ARENA WHEN SUCH SERIOUSNESS PREVAILS. YET PARENTS AND FANS SUPPORT AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL, LOCAL AND NATIONAL SPORTS. ONCE UPON A TIME AMERICANS WERE ASKED TO PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF RUSSIA, SUPPOSEDLY A WORTHY CAUSE. INSTEAD, DURING THE COLD WAR WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND THE COUNTRY AT THE GREAT DIVIDES EXPRESSING THEMSELVES AND SLOWLY TEARING US APART.
