One thing to keep in mind is that America is not just a piece of land, it is an ideal. It is a dream that says you can break away from the past and become whatever you want. We are the spirit of second chances, comebacks, and under dogs who come through. May that never change.

I wasn't speaking about people from other countries, just that the way America is today is not the way Simon and Garfunkel would dream of. The U.S has degraded so much in recent years...

Sorry guys, but I'm definite it's counting the cars on the new Jersey turnpike, i have two official lyric books. Both say that.

I may be wrong - but I think Paul wrote and the two of them were performing this song long BEFORE there WAS a Captain Picard. Maybe Trek (the earlier) (with Spock and Scotty and them) was around, Call me paranoid, but I have a hunch you're playing with me. Maybe, somewhere, there is a collection of Paul Simon librettos (libretti?) that would settle this.
