How much taxes did you pay last year Kevin? Did you expect that some of those taxes
were going to help children in need? To help support poor schools? To help food
programs? For medical care? Oddly, poor children have more resources that the
children of the working poor. Nobody bitches louder than I do about this country
taking care of its children and poor, but that is because our country can AFFORD to
do that and doesnt. Nobody is saying this country cant use improvement, but sure as
hell our country is in very good company with a small pack of other countries that
afford their people freedom of speech and opportunity. Other countries got their own
problems, Canada has Quebec, England has Ireland, Australia has treated/treats the
original ones like shit, Japan treats women like shit .. but at least we are working
on it. Ingrid

when women do well they believe they are lucky, men dont think luck has anything to
do with their doing well.
often those who pull themselves up by their bootstraps think anyone can disregarding
that many people dont have boots. at the bottom of everything is the genetic
capacity and a home life that encourages or even challenges an individual to work
hard and succeed. a depressed dyslexic child in a home of substance abusers is going
to have a very hard row to hoe. Ingrid

I'm not bitching and moaning, just having a bit of compassion for starving children
in this United States. I guess they should go get a job.

America is now in the same situation of feeling ostracized and hated
and cornered by the world.With international travel and global
communications Americans are finding out what their reputations are
and what is said about Americans around the world.They are made to
feel unwelcome and unwanted in every country and made to feel
embarassed and ashamed to hear what one hears about Americans in every
country one travels to.People around the world will never think of
visiting America thinking one would just get shot.Satellites and the
internet send what the international community says about America and
Americans into American living rooms today much to the dismay of the
American media which the world always knew were pathological liars.
The world's most hated country with the world's most despised and
ridiculed people is now striking back at the world and is the new
Fourth Reich bent on invading and destroying.America which has been
crumbling socially for decades with all its social problems of
violence,crime,illiteracy,etc.,is going to try to punish the world for
thinking it is a barbaric degenerate dying Rome with its bread and
circuses culture.
The world's shortest and most violent and shameful history on earth is
leading to the fastest decline of any empire in world history,and if
it is going to be hated by the world,it will go outside into the world
with a high capacity semi-auto and take as many people and countries
with it.
Unfortunately as with mass killers and disgruntled Postal workers,they
may take out a few,but the whole world will become a SWAT team.Suicide
by cop.


grand theft auto-baghdad is due out soon.
and you are too kind as to what the world really thinks of yanks.

I'm glad I don't rely on my government... I just believe in
responsibility and accountibility to one's self and their neighbor,
not expecting big govenment to do it. BTW Your yard looks great with
all that woodwork!!

men dont think luck has anything to do with their doing well.
He has that, the pres. of the U.S. studied hard to get into Yale. Even Legacy
students find that getting more than a C average takes some iniative. When you
get into biz. borrow from family friends and sell off the failed biz. to other
family fiends.
As luck would have it we can crush a third rate country and use our family
friends biz. to help rebuild it.
Its not luck its ..... being born into money.

For the most part, this nation is driven by fear. It is done through media to get
your attention, so they can sell commercial ad time, so we can go buy something.

There is no gun capital in America. They are everywhere. I am not anti-gun, I'm
anti-violence with guns. For the size Texas is, and how many guns people have the
murder rate is quite low. I don't have exact figures, but I live in the Capital of
Texas and we don't have many murders here at all.

I didn't say I would like Japan or living there. I dislike what the Chinese are
going to Tibet. I am very glad I was born American. I was just stating the facts.

Have you read anything on the subject of a fear based society?

"Culture of Fear" is an excellent place to start. IMO

BTW, the comets are back in the pond outside and the tank got cleared up in less than
half a day! Wow are those comets messy!

Oh brother. Yes, I know Janet. Next question.

When you consider we had over 11,000 deaths caused by guns, not counting
suicides and

fear based,
consumer driven society in the U.S.

I happen to be an American woman who doesn't live in fear and owns a gun. I
own a gun for hunting and my own protection. I live way out in the woods and
can't always count on police to arrive on time to save my ass should someone
break into my house with ill intent. Thank God for the Right to keep and
bear arms.

Fear and consumerism go hand in hand.

Get out once in a while to a movie. Go see the Oscar nominated
documentary, "Bowling
for Columbine" and get back to me. Read, "Culture of Fear," then see what
you have
to say.

We are a very violent society in the U.S.

Don't get me wrong, I thank the Universe every day that I'm part of this
country. I
detest what the government has done. Another book, "Jennifer Government"
comes to
mind.

Drivel is in the mind of the beholder. I didn't write it originally, but
I can
clearly see how we are viewed by other nations and it's not a pretty
picture.

What we do here is free countries from their own tyranny, in the name of
democracy.
Interesting, that.
