We Americans have strange values:
1. We (usually) have two candidates to choose between for president; but invariably there are 50 contestants for Miss America.
2. We naively believe astronomers who say there are four billion stars. But have you ever noticed how people refuse to believe a "Wet Paint" sign?
3. We pay a pittance to our philosophers, poets, and teachers -- while we lavish obscene riches on celebrity athletes, movie stars, and the captains of commerce.
4. Why do politicians insist on fighting fire with fire, despite the Fire Department's preference for water?
5. Alas, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
