Quote of the Week: America the Uneasy
"The three great American vices seem to be efficiency, punctuality, and the desire for achievement and success. They are the things that make the Americans so unhappy and so nervous."
- Lin Yutang
I disagree with that quote. For me, the three great American vices seem to be "Greed, arrogance, and a lack of self-esteem by nearly 100 percent of the population."
