Economics. Religion. Politics. Wryly Reilly: The myth of American exceptionalism on CollegiateTimes.com. Imagine a glee club with 196 diverse, well-groomed teenagers preparing to sing rock band Asia’s classic “Heat of the Moment.” There’s a lot of pressure to do well because a great performance could earn them a trip to regionals. A problem arises though: Three kids won’t sing Asia’s 1982 masterpiece, inexplicably insisting on performing Jefferson Starship’s “We Built This City.” Everyone tries to convince the holdouts to switch their song for the group’s sake. “We’ve come so far,” they plead. “Don’t hold us back when we’re this close to regionals!”
Nonetheless, the 193 are met with refusal, and the future of this once-promising singing collective remains in question. If you were one of the 193-strong majority, wouldn’t you be frustrated at the asinine stubbornness? The rest of the world uses a system based on universally accepted measurements. Welcome to the 21st century U.S., where logic is fine and dandy as long as it doesn’t threaten the infallible notion of American exceptionalism.
