The path to becoming a valuable citizen has been lost prior to the hideous, dark, and dismal revocation of humans acting on their own accord, peacefully, and with intent to do better, help more, and stop consuming mass quantities of worthless goods. How long must we wait before our lazy greed driven Americanized blind faith is shown in full color. i.e.
The poorest of our Nation are not only burdened by unwarranted search, but also by a closed minded government which has no ability to discern between religion and state. For, as every single example in history, every single time, it has been demonstrated religion, ideologies, and personal belief systems fail to justly server our best interest in government. Yet, given this ignorance, I could mention countless people who voted for George Bush simple because he claimed to pray each day. And no one, no not one, will now admit George W. was anything more than a representative for monetary expansion into areas where Western ideas have no place. Yet, our youngest, most talented citizens are still camping in sand chasing ghost in the name of America’s addiction to oil in countries where our western ways are not the best by any means. Perhaps this would be why the majority of the world hates America.
Government does not serve to protect the citizens. The government is no longer for the people and by God, by God, what representative, honestly, can we say is by the people. I need only mention one thing here. How many, just from North Carolina, elected officials now are under serious investigation by our Justice Department (an oxymoronic statement to say the least), for if we are aware of Wiener showing his Wiener, and Edwards covering up his choice in life ( I condemn no man, as I have had more short comings in life than anyone I know), but to lie, to be dishonest, even about Twitting a picture of your genitals tells me the level of dishonestly in America clearly demonstrates a lack of, not only over sight by average citizens, but also a level of official transparency which at best can be seen as a smoke cloud.
On a last note as to why America has been shot to hell by big interest and zero regard for human rights, I point to the fact running a campaign for an elected office is so expensive, and so asset driven, our own elected officials take money from contributors from other nations, corporate behemoths, and all else that stands in the way of the average, ambitious American citizen; the average Joe and Jane who wish to simply be provided with a method of earning a fair income, and a method of enjoying that income, the fruits of their labor.
So, to shut my mouth here, I will just point to the sheer size of our government and a phrase we all find too common in our system of oppression of third world nations, power corrupts and it always will. If we don’t get average, everyday citizens at least interested in what the hell is going on, here and abroad, we have failed our future generations and also burdened them with a system that looks more Orwellian than ever.
Technology is too grand an idea to be safely used, and used in a productive manner without sacrificing the privacy of average citizens.
People have zero rights. As soon as “Terrorism” or any other hyped up bull is used to justify the unwarranted search of citizens automobiles at random to air ports body cavity scans, to homeland security tapping the phones of innocent people, we live more in a police state than a democracy. And get used to it, as more and more propaganda is spread all in the name of breaking the constitutional rights of American citizens. Let us for now turn our back on the amount of non-violent offenders locked up for no real reason, the loss of human life in an effort to spread our ideals (mostly religious in nature) so cops, pigs, and government officials can stomp our very right to live natural and normal lives.
And for God’s sake do not use the reasoning of “well, dang, I reckon it’s still the best government out there” as we exploit the poorest and most vulnerable simply to live in excess and to consume, consume and consume worth less goods. Damn, we can’t even drink the clean water we do have as we sit back and watch governments privatize simple necessities, such as water.


God Bless
