American citizens are proud of their vast store of ignorance.
I don't recognize this country -it has become a third world bastion of corruption, owned and operated by lobbyists and corporations.
The only Manifest Destiny the US can claim for fame is the ability to destroy a huge country, once proud of its' melting pot, now stirring all kinds of prejudice, racism, anger, hate and stupidity.
I still have a teeny bit of hope we right ourselves (we did with McCarthy madness) before we implode.
Otherwise I am hoping I can lie low, live long enough to collect my retirement, fade off into some oblivious portion of the US that isn't full of the same scary people I live around today, and find a little peace.
Since when did this country worry about the national debt?
Since when did America worry about being fiscally responsible-at the expense of the lives of other citizens?
Since when did our citizens decide to establish a "worthiness" scale which will allow some to live and others to starve, suffer and die?
Since when did money become so much more important than the quality of life for all US citizens?
This country is ridin' the wrong rails and there is no established track.
Of course, we refuse to pay to build one.
Growing old in this country is starting to look like one mean business.
