Americans – Our rallying cries are
free will, freedom of expression, humor, independence,
innovation – not programmed like a robot or something. Put 40,000
of us in a stadium together, play on the public address system most
any of the thousands of melodies we know and we will sit there and
hopefully enjoy the music, depending on taste. Play one particular
melody out of those thousands and everyone, en masse, will stand up
and remain so as long as this melody lasts, no matter how pleasingly or
poorly it is presented. When the melody quits, they will sit back
down. If anyone deviates from this behavior, even if he has
performed his duty a hundred times before, he may be remonstrated,
shunned and publicly chastised, depending on his station in society.
Sure it's a nutrageous idea but maybe
Americans are just mindless automotons. That would explain a lot.
Well Tom have you been sitting down thru the national anthem? Nursing a hamstring are you?
