21. Maybe the hype about "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press" thing has been overstated.

Maybe we should just stick with the purple mountains and the waves of grain. The amber majesty of it all, ya' know.

Maybe we should deal with the terrible burden of guilt every American endures for living in a perfect nation while every where else on earth (except maybe England) they eat dirt and pine for freedom. It's a terrible problem. Haven't you been reading the news? I think maybe this burden has driven about half the country totally freaking bonkers.
