the United States is NOT ...

"the United States is NOT an all-terrain vehicle" (despite the fact that those who seek elected office and those who seek 'favors' from them seem to think it is)

when driving through unfamiliar streets, it is not uncommon to turn onto a road and soon find yourself at a 'dead-end'. when this happens you have no choice...

but to turn back, and retrace your path, to find the intersection where the wrong turn was made, and take another route. only then can you hope to begin to 'move forward' again. (assuming, and it's a big assumption, that you know where you want to go)
