This American Blog

My first "show" for this blog will mimick that which has come before, This American Life, my favorite show on NPR. Each entry/show will have a theme and parts or material based on that theme, todays theme: Getting Mine First, what happens when people go to great lengths to get theirs first, their seat, their parking spot, their whatever. Todays entry is in three acts, Act I: When i was knee-high to a grasshopper what was your reaction to that kid who cut the lunch line, stole your book, or took the last ice cream cone. Act II: Excuses, Excuses, what clever or not-so-clever excuses do people use when trying to get theirs, and what is their usual outcome. Act III: Along came Patience, how people have overcome this debilitating problem and become 'reformed Me's'. These and other stories coming up, please stay with us....
