Violent attacks on AmericaTM

It is easy to pick on AmericaTM. Official "bad-guy of the world"TM slash "world-police"TM. But nobody likes the police, right?

AmericaTM is the example of shame in many an article on this site, but I might just as well have written about lil' ol' home, or Europe. Blair and Berlusconi.

It's all heading the same way...

So now a little something about the "real America". I kinda miss it, miss the deep seeded urbanity of New York and Jersey City. Made me feel like a fisherman again, or a peasant if you like. Where hip is so yesterday and fresh is old school, fashion a moving target on cocaine and pshychedelics and every party gotta be better than the last one. I miss people taking the production value seriuosly and life easily. It's all hedonistically wrong but kinda good too. After all it's the post-post-post-everything culture. The cultural capital of the world, where all arts are or end up. The infamous melting-pot.

But most of all I miss the people I met there, so here's a toast to you, if you're reading. And forgive my vicious attacks, they're on your political leaders -not you, and I know many of you agree anyway, I saw little love for Bush's government. But outsiders ain't supposed to speak... then again, like the Rammstein song, "We're all living in America...".
