ai0tron, I am sorry, but your post just makes me laugh. Yeah, there is so serious stuff wrong with our country, but at least you can do and say what you want. The very fact that you made that post without an intelligence agency coming in and locking you away with no trial forever is an argument in favor of our country. In that vein, I think we should take John Ashcroft and hang him from his balls from a lamppost like they did with Mussolini, but that is just me.
Anyway, coolvij is right. Go to a developing country, and you will change your attitudes pretty damn quickly. Having spent more than a year of my life in Russia makes me realize how much **** we take for granted. And Russia is a relatively industrialized and modernized nation....yet the governement has bought out every single TV station, the mafia has control over almost all the major companies, as well as the government, and they simply rob the public of hundreds of billions of dollars a year, spending it on mercedes, houses in Cyprus, France and the US, furs and jewelry. On top of that, there is no respect at all for the environment. It is so bad that the military has dumped spent nuclear reactors into the Sea of Japan. Try and see if the US public would let our government get away with any of those things happening. Somehow I do not think so.
