I am

Ok so I guess, what with Katrina and all, that it has become a little bit more obvious what is wrong with America. I was walking up Broadway on my way to VH1, passing all these tourists thinking "why would anyone want to visit Times Square? It's so tacky."

And it's that unfathomable arrogance which afflicts our nation. I question the value of an edifice like Times Square, without taking a single moment to marvel at its mere existence. I've lived with the pulsing, LCD reality of Times Square for so long that I have had time to develop an opinion of it. Would that would cross the mind of a child from Senegal? or even Eastern Europe?

But here I am, rushing north along Broadway with all the JP Morganites and fly-over tourists, ignoring the fortune of my birthright.
