Whenever I get a bit down, I pull out my "Patton" Soundtrack & listen to
the Patton opening speech. I always break out with joy everytime I
hear the words (paraphrased): Americans loves a winner .. and will
not tolerate a loser!! Nowadays it seems more like: Americans love a
whiner and tolerates all the losers!!
Too bad.
