SEQUESTER BLUES

american people will just love saving their money.  yes, can't wait for airports to install a couple of 40 watt bulbs like they have in kiev or toilet facilities like they have in Ivano-Frankivsk International Airport where upon entering you are met with a wall of stink requiring back pedaling quickly.

just a word about american empathy and charity ----

when in a fast food place in midtown manhattan, a person approached a table near me and asked the man there for a handout.  in an instant without hesitation the person reached into his pocket and gave the beggar a dollar.  i realized that in many parts of the world they know that another person would not beg for money unless they really needed it.

being, i think, a typical american i would ignore the beggar knowing there are places he can go to get sustenance or "just get a job".

then there are people from kentucky like rand paul who probably would give him a kick for motivation and laugh at him.

just sayin'.
