As American a picture - the faces don't editorialize or criticize or say anything but 'This is the way we are in real life and if you don't like it I don't know anything about it 'cause I'm living my own life my way and may God bless us all, mebbe'... 'if we deserve it'... - Jack Kerouac from his introduction to The Americans
