  1. The government has a multi-trillion dollar budget, a large standing army, and many nuclear warheads. I have a few thousand bucks and a kitchen knife. They win.

  2. Wow, that is alot to take in. I agree that our Country has gotten alot of it’s priorities mixed up. I think our President is a moron and our government is made up of mostly wealthy men, thinking they know whats best for the “average person”. But with all that is wrong with our Country, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I think you may get some flack for your question, but that is one of the greatest things about our Country. The fact that you are able to say what you said and not get shot. =-)

  4. I agree on some points….like why should I as taxpayer, who has no kids, dislikes kids and think people need to quit breeding like rabbits until they can afford their own damn kids, should I have to pay for public schools?
    Some taxes are necessary, outlandish taxes are not.
    And there you (generally speaking) go again with that white man bigotry babble quit pulling out the race card every time you don’t like something. You want repression….go live in Darfur or the Middle East (if your a woman).
    That may be where YOUR misplaced patriotism lies but please do not speak for me…..my patriotism lies with our Military and the Honor in which they have served and continue to serve this nation to protect us all and allow us too keep these freedoms and privileges.

  5. Among the many reasons why Americans have left their democracy to decay is distractive consumerism; people spend much more of their lives as consumers than as engaged citizens. Read the great new book Delusional Democracy.
