who care if america sux! heh



No, for real...This country has its fair share of problems....I think that the way things are, its gonna only get worse for quite some time...until enough ppl open their eyes and realize theres a problem and actually try to do something about it...Until someone starts taking the defensive against the problems, nothings going to get better.



I believe this country needs a renewed govermental structure. I think the current one works just fine...on paper...But, theres just too much power sitting on one person. The president should be replaced by a small group of people, not just one man. At least 3 ppl should be in the presidential spot. (can never have a tie on a decision with 3 ;) )



The congress/senate is a very good idea...except those ppl have been in that spot for so long, they have just about forgotten what the hell they are there for...alot of them are there for themselves..nto their ppl. They need to realize that...remember that they are the representation for the ppl....I remember from my high school govment class that our reps vote according to how we vote...but have the option to change that vote if they want...that is not right IMO...if the state voted one way, the rep should not be able to vote the other....he might as well have thrown out the voting system!



The government is too strict in its dealings with the ppl and too lax in its dealings with the businesses...I know this is a free country, and the govment sai it would stay outta business...but then that left it with few thigns to do...so it decided to stick its nose in our personal business...theres laws banning certain forms of sex in most states...what kinda shit is that? Why would the govment be watching who has oral, anal, doggiestyle or missionary???

This country is suffering from a serious case of overpowered beurocrats who think that everything thats wrong with this country is because of lack of laws....but I saw this...the more laws there are, the more there are to break!



Heres an example: More than 60% of our prison population is from drug users....85-90% of those are simple marijuana users who had between .5-2 ounces on them when busted.

Now, that is a waste of taxpayers time and money...instead of busting smalltime drug users (and I say that since ppl still think MJ is harmful and should be illegal), they SHOULD be spending their time on the bigger ppl...coke dealers, heroine dealers, murderers, rapists, kidnappers. Instead of wasting time, money and monpower on smalltime drugs, like MJ, they should redirect the resources to homicide, vice, sv, mp...



Again, lets go back to the laws thing...The governemnt started mandating laws...they churn out laws like most ppl wipe their asses....wipe..toss..wipe...toss...



If they weren't so busy trying to control our lives down to the tiniest iota, we wouldnt be struggling to survive in this dog-eat-dog country where big business is enjoying its freedom from governemental control and charging us outrageous prices for shit that costs a few bux a piece...and paying us 1/4-1/3 of what we should be paid. Clinton had it right...raising min wage, working for our health benefits...Bush is a military jackass, thats all he was interested in was getting the military back to some formidable strenght...who the fuck cares? If all the countries in the world stopped producing weapons of mass destruction, we wouldnt have so many problems, because each country would have freed up millions-billions of dollars to use elsewhere!!

Why do we need to keep building missiles? Because we think somoene is going to attack us? If everyone stopped being so paranoid and wasn't so worrid about the land under their feet and started to live the life around them...there'd be no problem...Ppl seem to think that the g round they are on is special becvause its within the borders of one country or another...The land they are on is Earth, plkain and simple....you can be in America, Scandanavia, England, wherever, and its still EARTH!! Quit trying to take something that you can never really own! When you die, is the Earth going with you? When you move, do you take the Earth with you? Why fight over a piece of dirt?

It just makes no sense....

Speaking of drugs.

I found a pretty good movie, Fact or Fiction? Who knows but it is very interesting and nicely done.

Ok, well...we build the defence, for example, what happened on 9/11. True, that was a terrorist group, and we cant just attack a Country, except for the ones that help him. Lets say Someone did try to move in on us. Lets say you take 50 years. You "grow" humans, tutor them their whole lifes. You have 100+ of these little guys/girls. You train them as they get older in politics. If someone was trained from day 1 to do something, you bet your ass they are going to be the best at it. Now they are born in the US. Now say its 30 years into their life, and you have them running for office, lets say most of them get in. Now at 45 years of their life, all of them are in some office, and maybe 1 is even president(backed by funding from a country). Ok, now lets say some other country is bascially running America. From that stand point, we are screwed. How can we defend against that? Who says they have to be social? School, home and train, and maybe a job. If they grew up with the values you taught them, they COULD learn new ones and change..but then ya just kill them :)

I dunno...I am bored waiting for the GF to get ready so we can see a movie.
