102. "Your "democracy" is a big joke." In response to In response to 50
First of all, there's only two real options to choose from, and even those two are hard to tell from each other. Nader's party is just an itch on the butt of the republicans and democrats. In theory, someone could start their own party, but in reality, it's impossible in a country where dollars decide who gets the most attention in the media. After the so-called elections, one man practically gets to rule a country that is the biggest militaristic and economic force in the world. In this case a man that's hardly capable of pronouncing his own damn name. But hey, the NRA, oil industry and other corporate entities support his dumb ass with their dollars, plus his daddy has some connections here and there too, so he doesn't need to have any political capabilities whatsoever. Add to that the conservative christian lobby and politicians saying "God bless America" everytime they exhale in a country where there's supposed to be a separation of church and state, and the joke is complete.
And you believe that you live in a democracy? One with the (self-proclaimed) right to inflict such "democracy" and "freedom" upon countries who's people never even asked for it? A country that chooses who has to oblige to which UN sanctions (in other words, the US tells the world what to do, not the UN).
I'd be seriously ashamed of being part of such a democracy.
