But, we just can't seem to leave well enough alone sometimes! Heck, we revolted against England over some measly taxes!?!

We brought about impeachment proceedings against a president for lying about....wait for it....SEX!

So, now we have a new president-elect and the next four years may play out like a extended episode of 'My Name is Earl'.....

Invaded wrong country under false pretenses....oh, uh, sorry about that.

Forgot we signed the Geneva Convention....ok, wait, we can explain that.

Forgot about a entire city....now just hold on there! We were going back to New Orleans next year!

Point is, we DO live in a great country and our leaders(whatever their party) deserve to hear it when they screw up. It's really our duty to let them hear it!

i think the solution may come when technology 'll allow people to vote for the laws instead of deputies . i think it's a viable solution cause two much power in the hands of one man can lead to great messes if the guy's incompetent or disconnected from the people .
Concerning how to keep the morale up when i feel i have the morale a bit down cause for example i can't buy a thing i would like to i have a little thing i say to myself but the guy of the inferior caste in India what would he say if he had what you have that instantly raises my morale up

Curious...my girlfriend works 12 hour shifts damn near every night without health insurance options from her job and can't afford the dental work she needs. But to hear people around her say it, I guess it's her fault and she should be treated for free anywhere she goes.

"GO USA! #1 HEALTH CARE IN THE WORLD! WOO!"

Give me a break...

American healthcare is a for profit enterprise and it shows.

Indeed. They act like they're here to help (these corporations and enterprises that control health, education, and other important systems), but everyone is in it for the money. Don't kid yourself for a second. They're only thinking of themselves. They'll try to profit off whatever they can: you, your 80 year old parents, your children, your stuff... even your pets.

It's a sad day when they use the elderly and young for greedy intentions...

They get you from the cradle to the grave. They make billions feeding you McDonalds and make billions keeping you alive when you get the cancer. Healthy people are not profitable, dead people are not profitable. Unhealthy living people, is profit. That's why America is full of extremely unhealthy people, they have us where they want us, it wasn't an accident.

Why, the people who forced us to eat all those double super-sized Big Macs with and extra pound of fries with gravy, that's who:rotfl:
