America is crumbling under the weight of ridiculous debt brought on by a wrong headed war and government sponsored paranoia that is gobbled up by a naieve and self absorbed public relys on FOX for it's view of the world... that's what's happening to America....I'm sitting on the sidelines, in Canada, watching in disgust with what is going on in the US of A, as is the rest of the world...the aftermath of what Bush and Rumsfeld (behaving like facists) have managed to do in 6 short years is destroying the country....more debt accumulation in those 6 years than all previous administrations combined...blind denial that oil is a bad thing and that alternate energy sources need to be developed..etc etc...if China decided to call the current US debt that it has on its books, the US dollar would be worth less than the Iraqi dinar...anyhow, I'm rambling. The US, as it looks today, looks just like the Roamn Empire did just before the barbarians took over...the empire is crumbling and your government is more concerned with tax cuts to the rich than it is about fiscal responsibilty, relying on consumers to spend them out of the hole the government has dug for the country; if everyone in America didn;t go to the mall this weekend, things would get very very shakey...so quit buying stuff you don;t need and make the government wake up to its' ridiculous domestic and foreign policy, which amount to nothing more than: spend more so we can chase the ghosts who we think want to harm us...sorry for the rambling and slightly incoherent dissertation, but it makes my blood boil when I think of what the US public has allowed thier government to do...everyone there has been too busy shopping with borrowed money and listening to that great hip hop make sense/be good to each other music to notice what's been going on? From Hollywood to Washington DC, the place seems to be getting dumber and dumber...and that is so very very sad.
