I'm watching the news and they're showing the Iranian protests and violence that's occurring as a result of the latest controversial election. The newscaster offered his opinion and stated, "This is why America is so great. We enjoy a peaceful transference of power." I suppose to a certain degree the newscaster was correct. We have demonstrated to the world that even with controversial election results, even with our highest elected office we can maintain a certain amount of civility. But wait a wait a minute, weren't we just burning cars and fighting with the police when the Lakers won the Championship? I guess we're just passionate about other transfers of power.
Can you imagine the riots that would ensue if there were a controversial American Idol ending?
