Maples were good... before the 1970s. Ottawa was good... Like once in 2007. This is all a joke to me, though, because everyone knows that hockey sucks.

Yeah, but it doesn't got what plants crave. It doesn't got electrolytes.

I think education is a poor marker for where we place in the world.

Cost of health care/services.
Infant mortality.
Income equality.
Income stagnation.
Life expectancy.
Literacy.
Incarceration rate.


We are on the wrong side of the results in most of those categories, or farther from where you would expect us to be. It's rather shocking when you think about it, but it really enforces the fact that were not #1 at a lot of stuff that matters. We are #1 in defense spending though. In fact we spend more than the next 14 highest spenders combined, and 12 of them are our undisputed allies.

We are also one of three countries that use the metric system ofically...Liberia and Myanmar are the other two. Sweet!

20 years later people still think Mike Judge is making fun of Beavis and Butt-head, not the people watching with the power to improve the world.

Silicon Valley is amazing btw.

True. Two leagues at the same time for me = just a little more than 1 track day and lasts about 4 months.

It's like Aaron Sorkin read your post, went back in time and made an HBO series about it.
