I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Stuff I remember my father saying when I was growing up.

The way to be heard is to speak up.

The way to be appreciated is to shut up.
