I truely wanna know what you all think of the country NOW.
Not what it was like 20 years ago, or 2 years ago.
I wanna know how well you think it is going now (2005-2006).
I think it could use improvements. Ya'll who know me know im not the biggest patriet out there, but it is defenently better to live here then in some other places. I really do think that the rich are just getting richer, and that the whole country is run by corporations.
I dont think that americans have as much say in what goes on as we once had. It used to be that america was "For the people by the people", now it seems as tho its "for the rich, by the rich", and i dont see it changing in the near future.


I would like to hear YOUR honest to (which ever) God (you belive in) truth!

yeah but really honey youre country is fucked up!

The rich have more influence and power than the poor anywhere in the world. It's a fact of life. Fortunately in this country one has a better shot at making him/herself rich through ingenuity, cleverness and hard work than most other countries. So it's either bitch or get busy.

Nope, I doubt it. But then again no country is a democracy. Democracy exists only in the land of dreams.

The election system in this country is seriously MESSED UP. I mean in 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the fucking election because of that messed up winner-take-all system!

And this country is being run by corporations.

I think the voting system needs to be easy. And needs each persons vote to be counted on a nation wide level rather than a state wide.
