pandemic
I flip out about the downtown partnership forum on pan-handling I went to last night, and then calm down a bit.
I am beginning to think it’s true what the rest of the world says about Americans. We’ve become a nation of inveterate cry-babies. The quickness with which people seem to be leaping to legislate away behaviour that offends or scares them is truly frightening. I may have more to say about this when I have more free time.

(Get it? PANdemic?)
I got it! Good one. :)
I don’t think that’s what the rest of the world says about Americans.
It is — I asked them.
well, when I was out of the country I more often heard them call us “fat and loud”, but the cry-baby thing was kinda understood I think…
Your comments offend and scare me. I’m reporting you to the local branch of HUAC or TIPS or whatever it’s called now.
The best would be to report me to ICE — they have these awesome black t-shirts and they report to the department of homeland security.
Dang, you can gets one of them black t-shirts? I’m gonna report myself.
There’s a lot of handwringing about Memphis’ downtown PANdemic, too. Which, I guess, is an improvement over all the problems downtown had just a few years ago. There are a couple of good posts about downtowners growing thicker skin here, if you’re interested.
Great post — thanks!
