Tabs...there is no "disconnect" with reallity. There is a "different" reality when comparing life in America to life in Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia, etc. Just because we're not immersed in the insanity doesn't mean we have no stake in the game. Who is more invested in the ME than we are? No, there's no disconnect at all, and given the choice, I prefer to live the American reality. Thank you very much.

Now...where is my latte???
