'I'm learning how the American Government has failed its people.'
I was just watching MSNBC, and the reporter, located in Biloxi, MS, was interviewing a very young, college-aged man putting a roof on a home there. He was helping to rebuild some of the homes destroyed by Katrina. The reporter asked him what was he doing there? Young man responds, 'I'm learning how the American Government has failed its people. I'm here putting a roof on a home. Its great that all these people are coming together to help those displaced by Katrina, but its really the job of the Government, and they really need to get their act together.'

Priceless.

other than bomb hapless people around the globe.

Maybe..
