That was one of the first DVDs that I bought.

I just ran across this poem. It's got some pretty good stuff in it, thought I'd share it with the thread
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I AM AN AMERICAN

I owe you no apologies nor will I accept
Those apologies made for me by others.

If you dislike me you dislike me not for
What I am but for what you are not.
By my own sweat, I have created a lifestyle
Which I desire for all men.

To the world I have shared my wealth and
Given my blood, not because of obligations
But by my own free will. I have fed the
Hungry of the world. Many have bit my hand:
I used the other hand.

I defeated my enemies in battle, then
Pulled them up from the ashes of defeat.
Once strong, they again attacked: I turned
The other cheek. Though I am strong, I
Have never used my strength to rule others.
But do not misjudge me, I will not allow the
Fear of my own strengths to become my
Weakness.

If you wish to rise, I will give you a helping
Hand. But by the grace of God, and I'll
First be damned, if I'll let you drag me
Down so that we may be equal.

D. Ault
