I am shocked and appalled practically each and everyday about some decision or a statement that is made by the bush administration. where is our system of checks and balances... how is a womens right to choose being overturned by fanatics in power... how are the taxes being decreased.. when it will only benefit 1% of our population.. our land and water are contaminated more and more- the hole in the ozone is spreading wider and wider.. melting the glaciers of the south pole and raising our world temperatures.... species are going extinct... people are wrought with disease and perishing at an alarming rate because their governments are too busy fighting nonsensical wars and they can't care for its own poeple.... i'm so frustrated and upset about everything that i'm seeing... ignorance truly is bliss.... and now that i know this stuff there doesn't seem to be a damn thing i can do about it and thats the worst part....

You really are naive. I don't find you one bit offensive though so I will try and sound kind with my words.
Money grubbing mongrels always run the government. There isn't a government out there that isn't. Clinton stole the furniture from the white house and pardoned a ton of people for money. You calling this administration money grubbers is ridiculous. Politicians are ALL money grubbers.
You talk about taxes. Let's look at countries with high taxes. Please let me know the economic conditions at any of these countries. I'm very interested.
You talk about disease. In our country we have done a great job at eliminating many diseases and treating others. There are still many people who are not treated, but again the USA is not the Sudan or India. How about the fact that Europe has promoted starving people to oppose genetically modified foods where old genes are kept safely within the foods?
You talk about the environment. What has Europe done for the environment? The Kyoto protocal was one of hte most awful regulations ever written. No expert ever promoted it. I do think that the US could definitely spend more money and more time looking into alternative fuels and the like, but Europe is not one and the same iwth greenpeace.
You're frustrated about what you see. I see you as naive because of that. Go to any Arab country. You'll flip out even more and hate your government because of the fake news they put out there.
