Funny yes!

How did we yet here? Just watch the ads that tells us what to expect. The dude is a comedian and his skit is telling, but only if you don't ask any further questions. We are programmed to expect everything to work as they present it on TV, or on the web. Gee, for $100.00 you can purchase a ticket to the Bahama's and be surrounded by the hottest, inviting, and sensual humans on the planet. You land, get a room in the hotel advertised on TV, only it's facing the street not the ocean and when you go outside it's raining, the humans are ugly and nasty, the water has Red Tide Algae so you can't swim. The food give you the runs and the booze is watered down, just like they didn't tell you on TV. If the guys says "Paradise Island my ars" is he being unappreciative?

In the Road Runner cartoons, after each fall, the coyote is broken and battered but never dies. America isn't going to expire either. But unlike him, we will be chastened and begin behaving more wisely. For years, enthusiasts for unfettered capitalism have insisted that the withering away of enterprises and entire industries is a healthy and necessary part of a vibrant, self-correcting economic system; now, more than at any time since Joseph Schumpeter popularized the idea of creative destruction in 1942, we must endure the shocking and awesome pain of that metamorphosis. After decades of talking the talk, now we're all obliged to walk the walk.
