Dear Americans, these are some questions I have collected in 16 years of living in your country. Please see if you can answer them for me:
* If all cultures are equal, why doesn't UNESCO organize International Cannibalism Week festivals?
* Why do those demanding "equal pay for equal work" never protest against "equal pay for little or no work"?
* Why has no politician ever run on men's issues or promised to improve the lives of males?
* If all beliefs are equally valid, how come my belief in the absurdity of this maxim gets rejected by its proponents?
* Ever noticed that for the past thirty years, we've been hearing we have less than ten years to save the planet?
* Once a politician labels the truth as hate speech, can anyone trust him to speak the truth afterward?
* If a politician gets elected by the poor on a promise to eliminate poverty, wouldn't fulfilling his promise destroy his voting base? Wouldn't he rather benefit from the growing numbers of poor people? Isn't this an obvious conflict of interests?
* How did the "war on poverty" end? Has there been a peace treaty or a ceasefire? Who is the occupying force and who are the insurgents?
* Why weren't there demonstrations with anti-feudal slogans under feudal rule? And under Stalin, no anti-communist demonstrations? And under Hitler, no anti-fascist demonstrations? In a free capitalist society, anti-capitalist demonstrations are commonplace. Is capitalism really the worst system?
* If capitalism makes some people rich without making others poor, who will benefit when capitalism is destroyed?
* If the poor in America have things that people in other countries can only dream about, why is there a movement to make America more like those other countries?
