Where Did America Go And Who Took It?
Anyway, I had a call in the local shopping mall yesterday. It happened to be in the Best Buy store. Anyway, the patient, that was there spending my tax money decided to have a grand mal seizure, but this is all besides the point. What I did notice was the amount of buying going on. Tons of high end, high tech devices. After the call I told my partner, who is in her late 20's, about "Pancakes for Breakfast". It was a book that I used to read as a child. From what I remember this family goes to Grandma's house for a few days for Christmas. All the kids could think of was Grandma's pancakes. Day after day goes buy and no pancakes. Finally, on the last day of their visit Grandma made pancakes, and the kids were overjoyed. My partner thought it was crazy that anyone would wish for pancakes. Norman Rockwell's America is dead. Too bad as I think it was a better one.
