Oh yes! I love this country and it's people.
It's the political 'SYSTEM' and all its Washington D.C. self-serving mobsters that SUCK!
And they are mostly all loyal to the same tenet of American "Democracy",which,SADLY,is ABOUT AS UNDEMOCRATIC as I have ever seen of ANY "DEMOCRACY" in the modern western world(besides ISRAEL of course).
It reminds me of a cake! No! don't get your taste-buds UP too quick!
The outer layer of thin icing is the "DEMOCRACY". This is the delicious part that the elite,minority,top 20% get to enjoy.
The next layer is the marzipan.This is the layer that all the corrupt lobbyists/special interest groups(upper-middle class) enjoy.
NOT quite the top,but as NEAR AS they are allowed to get,so they STILL feel 'special' and VITAL!
But,underneath that,is the main BULK--80%-- of the 'cake'(the lower-middle to working class)which is rotting away,stinking and INEDIBLE.
Because it's been neglected FOR SO LONG! Think "out-sourcing" and closure/reduction and privatisation of American industries and economy!
This is the PART OF THE CAKE which is supposed to be nourishing,rich,fruitful,edible,and full of vitamins! Because it IS THE CORE OF THE SOCIETY! But.....alack and alas! The Government system of real "Democracy" has failed!
And last,BUT NOT LEAST,out on the rim of the American societal 'plate' are the 'CRUMBS'!
The ancient and beautiful indigenous peoples and the hard-working,slave-worker, ethnic minorities,and ANYONE else who lives BELOW THE WORLDS POVERTY LINE,WITHIN the grand ole' US of A!
Scattered to the edges of the economic 'PLATE'.
The neocon Government TENET:
Keep the masses hungry,penniless,ignorant,jobless,low-pride,low-esteem,limited mobility,limited education and knowledge,general media which is about as nourishing as the trash food most can AFFORD to eat(rot the MIND and Body),bad health care,frustrated,angry,suppressed,OPPRESSED,so they turn inward on each other with rape,crime,murder,drugs,alcohol etc instead of focusing on the BAD GOVERNMENT,who are ACTUALLY the ones who are responsible for BAD GOVERNING!
Bad and WEAK "PUBLIC-SERVANTS" who we are SUPPOSED TO ELECT to serve and protect! Except that they have KNOCKED ALL the incentive,interest and positive energy OUT of people,that gives them the DRIVE and will to go down to their VOTING office and cast their vote of choice,AND NEED,for the country!
Why do they need OUR votes when THEY can RIG the systems AND WE LET THEM?
They have got the ordinary people slaving SO HARD,at 2 or 3 PART-TIME jobs,
(which means they can get away with ALL SORTS of worker abuse because under P/T jobs there are NO terms of CONTRACT to protect the workers benefits and rights),
that they don't have the time OR THE ENERGY to get out and vote!!!
Not to mention caging and vote rejection, and absentee votes that just get SHREDDED and dumped before counting! LOL!
Jeeez! It just blows my mind! Our great "Democracy"!
The PUBLIC-SERVANTS have failed US,in their Governing by creating a system which has taken away the right of,and quality of,basic AND higher education FOR THE MASSES,which could ENABLE 2/3rds of the people to HAVE LIFE-TIME CAREERS with benefits and security,safety,high self-esteem and a FEELING OF IDENTITY,PRIDE,and ACHIEVEMENT.
Only the ELITE can afford that,WITHOUT having to tie a financial noose OF LIFETIME DEBT around their necks.
These are the Senatorial and House 'guys',OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS,payed for AND INSTALLED by us, who we are SUPPOSED to LAY DOWN OUR LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS TO PROTECT AND DEFEND,by our "Democracy",(which DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST IN FACT),because they IN TURN,and by sworn OATH OF OFFICE,are supposed to recriprocate by defending and PROTECTING us from all REAL(not made-up conveniently)enemies "FOREIGN and DOMESTIC"!!!!
But,most of WHOM,it would SEEM,prefer to rob the people blind,get off tax-free while OUR TAXES GO UP AND UP,and we EARN LESS AND LESS,for what we need(not WANT as luxury)as basic essentials,like gas to drive the vehicles to get to work/school/college,decent food for children and elderly,basic AFFORDABLE medicine and health care,AND A GLOBALLY COMPETATIVE EDUCATION,for international MOBILITY!!!!
America's "EDUCATION' system for THE MAJORITY is a farce!
The goal of the Government is to get as many as possible on paper,to "qualify" so it looks good INTERNATIONALLY! Robotic Quantity before INDIVIDUAL QAULITY!
And that's NOT BECAUSE of the teachers,who struggle through a quagmire of bureaucratic s***.
It's the system that stinks.And who's in CHARGE OF THE SYSTEM?
Yes! Our good ole' PUBLIC SERVANTS at the top of the WAR-MONGERING TAX-HAVEN LADDER!
One of the reasons why Americans DON'T REALISE how much the system in AMERICA sucks in comparison to the rest of the modern western world,is because they HAVE NO GLOBAL MOBILITY(relatively)to be able to compare,first hand,with other Nations.
And,we have a National Corporate Media(State Censored)that DOESN'T SHOW THEM HOW MUCH BETTER AND FREER other western nations ARE! LOL!
Nowhere else in the modern western world TODAY,EXCEPT America,do people work the SUCH pre-Victorian/Industrial revolution,horrendous hours,with no health and union coverage(as is their RIGHT),for such MINIMAL PAY scales!
But Americans,on the whole,very rarely find THIS OUT!
They think the rest of modern industrial society is THE SAME!
Whereas many are FAR MORE ADVANCED!
And the mainstream Corporate TV/MOVIE system isn't going to tell them any different.They PREFER a GLOBALLY-ignorant audience!
It just feeds the Nation the same ole' same ole' violent theme,sexual theme,empty comedic theme OR DISNEY CR**!
It's clever conditioning,of the masses,to create a subservient,MINDLESS PEOPLE,who neither have the WILL,THE KNOWLEDGE or the power TO FIGHT BACK!
In other words it's "1984" AND "Brave New World" rolled into ONE!
Sadly,the only way that the MAJORITY of ordinary people in America ever GET TO GO ABROAD,travel and compare,(I mean OFF the Continent of N/S Americas TOTALLY and INTO the world),is by GOING TO WAR,IN THE FORCES!
Don the uniform,carry the gun,do as you are told and YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE.....we say you can! And,keep you there,REGARDLESS of contract terms(stop-loss etc)
This,ironically,is NOT the best time or circumstance to see the worlds different peoples,at heir best,when they have GUNS in their hands,frowns on their faces,adrenaline levels THROUGH THE ROOF,and ANIMOSITY,STRESS and suspicions are highest!
And,for many,that learning "experience" of the world is negative/false and could well be their LAST before they get blown up,maimed,amputated,PTSD'd, or TBI'd OR killed and shipped home,SECRETLY and away from the media and 'OUR SENSITIVE EYES', in body-bags!
When you hear the media say,"warning,this footage MAY contain 'sensitive' material",LOL,what they really mean is,THIS IS HOW LIFE REALLY IS UNDER OUR RULE,but we want you to believe IT'S THE EXCEPTION to the rule!
If EVER there was a time for Americans to GET OUT THEIR VOTES and DEFEND their REAL DEMOCRACY,sanity and peace,it is in this up and coming ELECTION.
Otherwise,more blood will spill,more innocents lives will be lost and the war-mongers will WIN and PROFIT AGAIN!
And,we'll have NO-ONE to blame----but OURSELVES!
"Oh say,can you see,by the dawns early light....."
gardener! WEBSITE?
Oh "org" definately, for PURE AND UNINFESTED ORGANIC! LOL
Happy Autumn/Fall crops!

Mcsame is sure putting on a good act. It appears he is trying to act like that young little wife he's married too. pathetic. Yep, they're going to start another war alright. Its the only way this country can make more money for the rich. I wonder how much higher the national debt will go up in the next four years--what did they say--its up to nine Trillion dollars?? But what does Bush boy care, him and chaney and all their rich cronies billions-right? Meanwhile the poor can't jobs because they can't afford to put gas in their vehicles.
But don't you just love this country? ha
So, which web site name do think is better? ....com or ....org

Okay! I get it now LOL! Listening to the words of McCain and Bush on 'Democracy Now' this am:
"Sen. John McCain: “My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression."
(he must be talking of GEORGIA attacking Russia)
"President Bush accused Russia of bullying Georgia.
President Bush: "With its actions in recent days, Russia has damaged its credibility and its relations with the nations of the free world. Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the twenty-first century.”
Oh George! are you Admitting to being a bully and intimidating IRAQ?
You are IN NO POSITION to espouse MORALITY and accuse OTHERS of doing what you and 'President' Cheney did IN 2003 by invading and OCCUPYING IRAQ!!
Bush and McCain MUST BE HAVING AN EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR! LOL!
And all this verbal cr** from both is rehearsed from cozy kiss-kiss pillow-talk together!
Bush is coaching McCain verbally in exchange for financial bribes(campaign donations from ten BIG Corporations,many of whom are are getting BIG blood-money PROFITS and MORE OFFSHORE TAX-BREAKS,while OUR TROOPS DIE for lies!)and a promise of the BIG BRASS 'OVAL' ring!
McCain needs to be in a lock-up 'loony bin' and Bush/Cheney DEFINATELY need to be IN JAIL for war-crimes! The treasonous ba******!
Both are obviously SO INTENT ON conditioning US to believe that Russia is beginning a new f****** "Cold War". It is like listening to the propoganda of WMD IN Iraq AGAIN! And look where THAT lead the American people! Puke!
I can BELIEVE that guys(public-'servants')like these are INFESTING our Government(instrument of Democracy and Justice) with such an UNAMERICAN NEOCON disease.
BUT,I CANNOT BELIEVE that we,AMERICA,the voters,who ARE AMERICA,are letting them get AWAY WITH ALL THIS!
No wonder Bush is "having the time of his life" while our boys and girls are DYING overseas in an ILLEGAL WAR! Because he can SEE he's GETTING AWAY WITH HIS "MISSION" or "crusade".
NOW HE WANTS TO START ANOTHER ONE!
F*** YOU BUSH AND McCAIN!
Put your OWN children on the front-line,BEFORE you sacrifice ANY MORE OF OURS!

Yet me guess...McSame is going to pick a VP with a little bit more sanity and a younger-less damaged persona. Oh, this is getting more entertaining by the day!
Did you happened to see "Democracy Now" where a Black Foot Native was being interviewed? She was stating how the US gov't is screwing her tribe out of $$$$$ from having oil rigs pumping oil and they are keeping it tied up in the courts so they won't have to pay up. I just love the US Gov't...not.

You know in WW1 and WW2 it was called "SHELL-SHOCK"!
Now they call it PTSD and TBI.
But the results are the same,post-war,and it effects the person for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!
Ask John McCain.
Respectfully, he knows!
http://www.usvetdsp.com/dec07/mccain_suicide_ptsd.htm
Distinquished Service? POW CAMP? Detachment from the REAL world for years?
Heads filled with fantasy and RAGE in order to survive?
Oh yes! I can respect and empathize with that!
But! Even I know,that THAT WAS THEN and this is NOW!
And I'm sorry Mr.McCAIN but I can see,in you,symptons of PTSD and LOSS OF RATIONALITY that I can only say would be DANGEROUS in the White House and in a Commmander in Chief!
And we have a SOME VERY UNSTABLE 'CREATURES'(I won't call them "men",they don't deserve it) in there,RIGHT NOW,as it is,WHO NEVER WORE UNIFORMS!
McCain wore a uniform? YES!
Served his country? YES!
But!
The "experience" that McCain UNDERWENT,could be DETRIMENTAL to his rationale,his diplomatic PATIENCE,his SELF-CONTROL and his common-sense.
We've already seen,that his knowledge and recall is lacking.
We have seen that he can fire off at any moment(especially to reporters asking polite questions ONLY).
All the collective symptons of PTSD/SHELL SHOCK are similar,sadly.
But at the end of the day,they are injuries incurred that can become WEAKNESSES of character,rational and SELF-CONTROL,as any family member that has experinced them will tell you!
I wouldn't call those weaknesses a QUALIFICATION for a steadfast,patient,approachable,diplomatic leader of the US OF America.
If EVER America needed NEW BLOOD in the White House,it has to be now!
And,I'm sorry Johnnie-boy,but you still look TOO much like Mussolini to me.LOL!
And I remember that SOB well!
