Marina, I'm right with you, except for one thing. I sometimes use "A vote for Büsh is a vote for America's Fürhor!" in my signature. That's only because he's an icon for a certain group of people. Not that I really believe this one man, or even just he and his close cronies, are capable of doing much of anything. Hell, give any of them 3 days food and water and hunting gear, set them down in some rural area, and by the fourt day, they will have robbed the nearest gas station.

It's not just this man, or this administration. It's a long term plan that went into full swing right around the turn of the 20th Century.

Most Americans really do not support what our government does. Like the Germans during WWII, most of us simply refuse to believe any of it could be true. Like Germany just prior to WWII, there is growing dissent. Just don't start bombing us yet, OK? There's still hope for the pen.
It takes a village idiot to believe that a family needs instruction from the government to raise a child.

Ginger, I have to agree with you about the American educational system. When I was in the States, I got sick of having to answer to numerous questions such as:
 "Is Spanish your 1st language"?
  "Do you live on cabans on top of trees"?
 "So you're from the capital of Brazil? I've always wanted to go to Buenos Aires".

  Dude, was that annoying or what?

But then again, I remember we had only one year of World History and three years of American Social Studies. Of course we can't blame the citizens for not knowing much about international affairs, it's all in the way things are taught to them. Ppl who are well informed about the world in the US are ppl who actually take their own inniciative to do their own research because the educational system won't help them at all.

It's a shame that when you travel to South America or Europe, most ppl who's been to school can communicate in at least one foreign language and in the States ppl don't feel the need to learn new languages because the school doesn't encourage them.  

It's a shame cause the US offers a big variety of resources of information. You can find many libraries and museums, the best bookstores, universities, etc.

The question is "What can you do to change that"? Enlighten me cuase I don't know the answer to this question.

Eliminating compulsory public education would be a good start. Repealing the income tax would go a lot further.

I think our big problems started w/ the Industrial Revolution. Most people don't know this anymore, but Rosavelt regarded Joseph Stalin with great affection and open admiration. "Uncle Joe" some ppl called him back then.

Like every revolution, this one has begun to eat it's own young. It's time for another. And I sincerely hope it's civil, not international "war" and that, like the American Revolution against the British Crown, it's mostly mind games, very little real military conflict.

You have rights atecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.

Hey! I forgot about them, that hey were from L.A. I'd have to agree with you there...Well, we could say that Fear was the best punk band to ever come out of L.A., fair enough? And oh yeah - X was an incredibly good band too...
