mr mahs Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I am the average American.....I'm the guy who sends you grain when your crops fail, and drinking waterwhen your rivers,streams, and lakes dry up.I'm the guy who sends hordes of rescue personnel, trucks, andhelicopters to aid you when you suffer earthquakes, floods, and mudslides.I'm the guy who sends in my sons and daughters to "keep the peace" whenyou can no longer do so.When those relief workers ration out that rice- I probably helped pay for it byworking some dirty job that I really hate.When that UH-60 Blackhawk hoists your parents to safety from the roof ofyour flooded house, it's because I paid for it with my U.S. tax-dollars.When those Peace Corp members dig that irrigation ditch to help your littlefarming village, it is with my backing and my blessing.And when your neighbor threatens you and your way of life, more often thannot it is I who will stand up and make him back down.But I weep today....I weep for thousands of fellow Americans whom I will never know...I weep for hundreds of brave firemen, policemen, and paramedics whoperished while heroically doing their duties...I weep for 244 airline passengers who never reached their destinations...Saddest of all...I weep with the knowledge that I will forever be looking over my shoulder...I weep for innocents lost...I weep for innocence destroyed...I weep for naivete shattered...But soon I will weep no more...I will dry the tears from my eyes...I will wipe my runny nose...I will tighten my belt, and lace up my boots..And I will sharpen my knife...I will dry my powder... and I will oil my weapon..And as I do so, I will look, and I will listen..I will note the kind word, the shared grief, the shocked condolences...I will appreciate the support, and be ever grateful for any and all aid offered...But I will also note the gloating, the laughter, the jeers, and the perverse joy...And I will remember...I am an American...I am resourceful...I am determined... and I NEVER forget..Sleep well, I'll see you soon.God Bless America!

starvingartist Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Unfortunately, those are common thoughts and misconceptions. Yes I agree average is definitely the most appropriate term... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
