I think Americans everywhere are tougher than they realize.

So do I.

We bitch, we moan...

But when Katrina, 9/11, Andrew, the NYC blackouts, name a disaster...
hit, people step up and suck it up. I wasn't there for Katrina, but I
was there for 9/11, and I saw it with my own eyes.

Sometimes, I think our comfortable lifestyle, as well as our ability
and freedom to bitch and moan is taken as softness. Try to take it
away...

Look at the people who simply show up unorganized from 100's of miles
away to help at a disaster like Katrina and 9/11.
