Please, exercise extra caution when using outdoor gas and charcoal grills. In addition, smokers should never carelessly discard cigarettes. Immediately report a brush fire to 911.

Have you ever flipped the bird to someone else? Did it get you in trouble, or did it make you feel better?
Rude behavior can take on many forms, which also includes flipping the bird. Some would say that most everyone has at least once done it, or thought about expressing themselves in this fashion.

The 1950's novel reviews the reason United States foreign diplomacy is failing. This updated startlingly lesson appears to be most serious in light of the dismal history of US relations with Latin American countries.
