America used to be Elvis. Now it is Col. Tom Parker.

Good analogy?

We used to be the envy of the world, a vital, energetic, set-the-world-on-fire-in-a-good-way type of nation, a real fine specimen.

Now we are a nation of greedy, unethical savages who will make our charges sign any piece of crap contract so long as it makes us richer.

Oh, yes, and RCA is Halliburton.

Discuss.
