The American thing to do is bitch and yell at my TV, my computer, and to anyone unfortunate to be within earshot until football season resumes.Then what a fine, upstanding citizen you are. ;-) On which note it must be time to end this... until government causes a hurricane or a drought or even a meteor shower to prove how incompetent they really are. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
