Often when we do not get our way we give up, thus due to the face that we are used to having everything now. If we want it, then it should be available at our fingertips.

The Vietnam War is known to be the only war the United States ever lost. It was extremely unpopular and had approval ratings of below 20% (McConnell 183). It left us with a war memorial containing the names of 58,209 dead soldiers, all inscribed on black granite (Isaacs 1).

For the first time in history, Americans spend more money eating out than buying groceries per Fox News (2015).

And I’m also not too excited about being all “churchy” and religious for an entire week. We are riding vans painted with the words “Honk for Jesus” “Jesus loves you” and “ASP bound Kzoo Michigan”.
