1 of the same hero 1 x 1 pink and 2 x 5 of the same faction <| sep |> I try not to extrapolate . I just look at history . The US ' s history isn ' t all that great , even when it ' s written by the winners . It depresses me immensely that a country can think of itself as being on the right track to being great , starspangled awesome , whatever . Because when you do that , intentionally or not , it gets a lot harder to see the problems , and a lot easier to look past the cracks because you believe everything is great . America is a country with an incredible constitution and a declaration of independence that affirms fundamental rights for every human being . It ' s a cliche to say it , but if the founding fathers could pick up a modern history textbook or two and spend an hour or two watching cable news , I think they ' d be abjectly horrified . To paraphrase Chris Rock , nobody in America believes marriage is a sacred institution , no matter wtf religious conservatives say about it . There ' s no way in hell marriage is a sacred institution in America . Not in America , the country of reality shows like Marriage Boot Camp and Bridezilla .
