Re: I hate America....
Hey Maxwell -
Every great nation in the history of the world has dominated others, Every One.
France, England, Spain, Portugal, Rome, etc... But the USA still does not own/colonize any soil outside our borders (thru war). Of all the wars the USA has fought, we only asked for enough land to bury our dead.
Look at what Syria does in Lebanon – talk about assignation central, or what Russia does in Chechnya. I’ll take America every time.
But look on the bright side for a change Max -
The USA is one of the first countries to recognize women as equal to men, the first to free/abolish slavery and then offer them equal access to voting and our political process. (Won't find many black politicians in England or France or all of Europe) and we might even have a black President.
Whoda thought??
Excess Capitalism leads to big problems, but so does excess socialism and communism etc... It’s just that runaway capitalism fixes itself with economic meltdown - just look at the great depression – talk about fixing the income gap. Better that then how Cuba, Russia, Iran, Nigeria or Saudi Arabia fixes their problems.
I once had a professor who said it best - the solution to problems with democracy is ... more democracy.
Don't just hate/blame the politicians – hate/blame the voters who keep electing them into office. It’s up to us to make a change and carve the path – not for the path to be provided for us and we just simply walk down it. FREEDOM SHOULD TAKE EFFORT!!
We can still vote in change and a new hope for this nation. You just have to break free of all the commercialism. I took the first step and killed my TV (well I killed the cable and network feeds) I still watch Netflix movies but not network TV. No broadcast news, no sitcoms, no commercials.
It's put a whole new spin on the coming election, having to research for answers rather then having someone spoon feed then to me in 30sec ads.
GOOGLE RON PAUL!!
