Description
Only In America
Captured yesterday as the wind was howling and the sky backlit, sometimes it all just comes in to place. Title based on the Brooks & Dunn song. Happy Easter everyone!
In camera HDR, Minolta 18-200 Lens, Lightroom & Paintshop Pro for output.
I hope you all like it!

Brooks and Dunn-Only In America (video here [link] )
Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

Yeah, yeah, I'm replying to an old comment but I wanted to say this: Always hold patriotism near and dear, to family, state, and country. Pride in the states is a dying thing that must be brought back to the hearts of our people. God bless the USA!

America. We may not have as many people dreaming the dream anymore, and our economy is in shit shape, but at least in America, we will always at least be free. We will ALWAYS have that.

Oh, how I love American history.
And people, stop bitching about what happened years ago. You weren't even alive during that time, so you have no excuses.
This is from my Liberal point of view.

ummmm what the hell are you talking about? WW2? Ya we are so foolish, never mind the fact that the Japanese army enslaved millions. You attack our army, unprovokved, what the hell do you want to happen? Japan at the time got what they deserved. Yes we are so foolish that right now you are using a PC who's OS operates on American technology, writing on a website who is hosted in America, using the internet invested by America. Yeah, we are foolish all right.

Idiot...
"got what they deserve" that is a sick thing to say...
You don't seem to have any moral, and no sense of Justice...
...those who died were innocent...
They did not even attack a military target...
You say "the japanese army enslaved millions" yes the japanese ARMY... not anyone else but the army...
We all know the date 11/11...
I wonder... what do you think is the difference between America's attack on japan and the attack on the World Trade Center...?
Just as little Justice in both cases... same swines... both armies... or all armies...

Eeehhh... Not quite, it was war. Many things happen in war. Even the most ridiculous and idiotic of things. Every nation may have corrupt military, not just the U.S.A. You're simply chucking all the negatives at America. Japan was on the side of the Axis power at the time of WWII. Did you not know that Japan had tried to take over Korean and China. When Japan had control of Korea, the school principles in Korea were replaced with Japanese principles. Korean children were forced to learn Japanese, some were taught that they were Japanese by their teachers. Ancient artifacts and historical sites have been stolen and burnt. Koreans were used in Japanese experiments and were tortured severely. But other Korean were forced to participate in slaughtering other Koreans. It was revolting. But we can blame it on the government or the leader of course( if we prefer to), not the entire country.
The countless sins of war sticks out the most in our minds(don't they).

Don't forget that during that time Japanese were also torturing the chinese and experimenting on them as well. People like to say how "horrible" we were to the Japanese but forget all the horrific acts Japan did.

Ah, sorry for the lecture. Kukuku. but innocent people die in war. There will always be someone not involved who will be killed. Innocent humans were killed in China and Korea by Japan. Russia killed innocent Japanese people. Japan killed innocent American people. American killed innocent Japanese people. Yes, they could have attacked the military, but maybe they had different thoughts about it. They might of had a reason. Because there are humans there will be war, heheh, but you probably already knew all of this stuff. Japan wasn't the only country that was a victim of war. Also this happened in the past. Our older generations already completed it for us, why can't we let it go?

yea...
I think they should solve the conflicts through discussions... and if that does not help... use on-line games for warfare... ore something as simple as Chess...
That's what I think...
