Others in the world would trade their last meal to suffer our inconveniences such as power outages that render us unable to get our Starbucks nice and hot in the morning or to watch the latest Ben Stiller movie. Inconveniences like having to wait a half hour to get a doctor appointment for the sniffly nose. Like having to get the wrong brand of bread at a grocery store because our favorite organic whole grain bread was sold out.

America, face the ugly truth: you are spoiled. We all are.

And we should fall to our knees and thank God for allowing us to have such ease when there are plenty of much nastier alternatives relatively close by.

Instead we bitch. We moan. We whine. We complain. We want more. We want it hotter, colder, faster, slower, larger, smaller, shinier and by God we want it cheaper. Oh and we need two, not one.

We as a nation need to remember what we have, how we got it, and how easily we could someday lose it.

And to be fair, so many of us do. We give to others selflessly when needs arise, I guess I must be fair and note that my rant is unfairly overgeneralized.

But not by much, and there are far too many who really deserve a reality check.

He nailed it.
