I prefer the Charlotte Rae rendition myself. Or perhaps the
ditty about
"we're going to stamp out hate,
poke it in the eye ..."
I HATE intolerant people ;-)
As you said, you cannot unite unless you are uniting
against someone or something...
Rather than Lithuanians, I would like to recommend the
Brazilians as a suitable target. Sure they are good people
with beautiful women, lovely beaches, great soccer players,
beach volleyball, tangas, etc., but they are starting to
export people at a pretty good clip. We could be ahead of
the curve and start telling Brazilian jokes. As a card-carrying
Brazilian, I promise not to get too offended. Just don't
insult Pele'.
