What's a relief?

I've never really had faith in our "country" perse. Our system is to easily curroptable, and when combined with free market capitalism it fails to function.

I had a realization the other day on the train into the city After learning about the struggles in africa (first hand I know an amnesty intern, and my dad spent a lot of time there), as well as the rest of globe, I began to wonder why so many american's take their privledge forgranted. Then on the train it hit me. This system provides just enough convienience and luxury to it's poor that this, combined with a lack of education prevents any honest challenges that the people could level against the government from happening. It's pessimistic I know, but to me lately it seems to be the most realistic explination of why this nation fails to actively participate in it's government.

As for hitting rock bottom. I am not Tyler from Fight Club. I hit rock bottom when I was 18, and I almost died. I don't wish that on anyone. I do think though that those of us who have have a different outlook on life. Trust me ICMN I don't want this system to calapse, if it did Mogwa would most likely pass away (literally) out of my life, and that is something I never would want to see happen.

THe only potentially unifing factor in American politics is Health Care, but you have to get over the tax hurdle. Which, is easy, if you can just grab someone's ear long enough to say that if they payed more taxes it would be counter-acted by saying they would not have to pay high insurance costs...
