Tecoyah has crafted yet another marvelous literary masterpiece with his latest apology. This leaves me in a quandary though!?

Which one is better?!

Its subjective, of course, but I thought I'd pose the question to all the beautiful and unique...uh individuals...here and also provide the rationale for my very own pick.


1)

I wish to offer my apology to the world. The United States has tried to be a force for freedom on Earth and offered help to those in need or seeking a hand when oppressed, though we sometimes have acted poorly in this quest or caused undo harm in our attempts the American people have always been there in heart and mind. My apology is in respect to this attitude as it is likely going away for awhile and many of us are upset by this situation. It would seem we ourselves have become the needy in regard to freedom and love as a good half our population no longer believes in these attributes. Our mutual futures may be less secure and troubling but, this too shall pass in time and ours is a resilient people of incredible diversity and compassion. I have great hopes that this phase in our history is to be short lived and we will return as a champion for the weak rather than become one of them. Please do not blame us all for this as this does not represent who we actually are.

2)

I am but an infant and I make the mistakes that come with it. At times I make mistakes and eventually learn from them in hopes I grow up a strong and good adult. My latest boo boo is a doozy and just know I get it, and am so sorry for doing it. I'm generally a good kid who tries to eat with my mouth closed and be nice to my sisters. Hopefully I learn a powerful message from this but, unfortunately it might take a bit of time to fix it..so please bear with me....I love you. Please do not abandon me world, I promise to grow up big and strong, nice and behaved. I am very sorry I have caused you pain and am working to remove the thorn from your paw.

Most of us in the United States want this nightmare to end as much as you do...it just takes time to get there.


In both, tecoyah makes an apology to the world. But from there the differences abound.

In number 1, he goes dark. It has a very somber and doomsday feel and one gets a punch in the gut about our nation having fallen. We were good but now we are not. We are not nice anymore gosh-darnit and we will soon become weak because of it. I have to be honest, this one left me with goose-pimples. I don't mind a dark work now and again and this one goes there, you know? Its not just dark, its laying in a gutter with the smell of urine around you and drinking jim beam from a mini-bottle - dark.

when tecoyah does number 2,:giggle: he takes some literary freedom and uses the creative metaphor of a child, AKA the young nation of the US. He begs forgiveness based on the youngness of the country. Were trying and please be patient with us. You can just picture the little darling with a pacifier in his mouth. Bless his heart!

I like this one a lot. Its more hopeful (because we are going to get rid of you-know-who) and provides a reason for our "boo boo,"(youngness...though some would say excuse, I dare say). Bottom line, I pick number two, because aspects of this one are frankly, just too adorable.

Neither. If you apologize, you are a traitor - plain & simple! :rolleyes:

I would prefer you refrain from accusing me of being a traitor. Though I completely understand that you tend to spew pointless garbage and do not understand most of what you type about, when directed at me it can become a personal affront which I might feel requires rebuttal.

That would be unfortunate for us both.
