They probably have decent tacos in Waco. Here we blew them up for being a cult when they were really just a Tex-Mex grill all along.

Waco's one of the best reasons to be afraid of Americans. Both parties involved.Uncle E wrote:I'd say it's more sarcastic than metaphorical. Even if it's literal, there are many cases of cults here claiming to possess the second coming of Christ so you can't call him a liar. Can anyone say Waco?munchkin wrote:It's a metaphore (sometimes used in lyrics and poetry). Not to be confused with literal meaning or facts.

Chase I like em too, but when I think of off-key singers, Billy Corgan definately is higher on the list than BowieThe Chase wrote:I like Smashing Pumpkins
Further proof that rock singing is a lot more about vocal character than hitting the right note...

God I love that song.aMUSEd wrote:Heroes is great but so is Wild is the Wind.
Fact: I tried to say that WitW would be 'our song' with my ex and she said it wasn't 'dancable'. Only now do I understand the deep-seated rammifications of such a stupid comment.

Iman wasn't even born in the US. Chase, you are too gullible.

Debatable whether it's prevailing and dominant... but it's definitely the "red state" notion (and Arkansas is a "red state"). America is actually rather evenly split between those of us who don't see America as entitled to rule the world and those who do.moseslawn wrote:The prevailing and dominant(unfortunately) American notion that the U.S. is the centre of the universe, entitled to rule the world, even own the moon, etc... all somehow justified through Christianity.
You are dead-on right that many of the people who do try to justify it through Christianity. (Others try to justify it through a more secular notion of "Manifest Destiny"). A true follower of Christ, though, should puke (at least figuratively) at the notion of U.S. imperialism in the name of Jesus.

No, you are absolutey right ccollinsmith, the populace is split. Hope I didn't offend. But those ideas still remain dominant until you get around to voting the Christian right out of the White House.
