Yes I love this country. No, I don't. But I don't hate it, either. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just living here. Go home Judas and quit sucking up points. Yeah, I like this country. But Ive never liked this government. Its never really governed the people....just the military-industrial complex. We are economic slaves no matter how much crap we're allowed to buy at Walmart. If you try to buck the system...you just marginalize yourself to the point of complete disenfranchisement. When was the last time you actually like the president 2 years after he gained office? Washington? Jefferson? who? You can wax nostalgic all you want about the land. I love it too. but its getting pretty damn hard to protect against economic pressures. wer Hell yes |
