Thank You Tom. I appreciate it.

Americans have very little recourse in our current economic situation. I am bemused at the tongue in cheeky responses witnessed [by yours truly] The sincerity of the deep frustration is certainly nothing to be scoffed at.

While I have not participated in this recent recalcitrant behavior of dissatisfied Americans...

I am deeply disappointed in the people that have chosen to perceive this as a joke.

This situation is not a laughing matter...our country is not a laughing matter. Our people are not a laughing matter.
