Не надо жалеть Америку!

Семён, я видел фотку на yahoo, где коп у бампера машины схватил Флойда, не думаю, что он хотел его убить, he just used a chokehold, и перестарался. Прискорбно, получилась новая Американская трагедия. Я был в Штатах дважды, суммарно 100 дней, правда давно лет 20 тому. Америку люблю, но как и в любой стране, там есть свои достоинства и недостатки. Наиболее опасный считаю неуклонно растущий национальный долг. Количество может перейти в качество с фатальными последствиями, которые могут принести вред не только США. Может, приходилось слышать песенку Пита Сигера:

So or any, хотим того или не хотим, –
On the bank of Patomac river стоит now новый Рим!
Oracles and prophets it seems проглядели его,
О нём в их revelations не сказано ничего.
Зато спел на своих концертах Сигер Пит, (Pete Seeger)
Пророком быть и обязан бард и пиит,
Solemnly, as a preacher: “We shall overcome!”,
Or gleefully about some little boy, – как и ты сам:
– What did U learn in school today U little boy of mine?
What did U learn in school today dear little boy of mine?
– I learned that Washington never told the lie,
I learned that soldiers seldom died,
I learned that everybody is free,
All that the teacher said to me,
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.
- What did U learn in school today U little boy of mine?
What did U learn in school today dear little boy of mine?
- I learned that policemen are my friends,
I learned that justice never ends,
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,
Even if we make a mistake sometimes!
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.
– What did U learn in school today U little boy of mine?
What did U learn in school today dear little boy of mine?
– I learned that government must be strong,
It's always right, and never wrong,
That our leaders are finest men,
So we elect them again and again,
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.
– What did U learn in school today U little boy of mine?
What did U learn in school today dear little boy of mine?
– I learned that wars are not so bad,
I learned about great victories we have had,
We fought in Germany and in France,
And some day I might get my chance,
That's what I learnt in school today,
That's what I learned in school.

Так что: - I learned that policemen are my friends,
I learned that justice never ends...
