Subject: How America Works


Let's see if I understand how America  works lately:

If a woman burns her thighs on the  hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.

If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame the rock 'n' roll music or musician he liked.

If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain, you blame the school for poor sex education.

If your  neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame  the bartender.

If your cousin gets AIDS because the  needle he used to shoot up with heroin was dirty, you blame the government
for not providing clean ones.

If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame  television.

If your friend is shot by a deranged  madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill  the pilots at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.

I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So if I die while in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates.......OK?
