Ruin you wish!!

[Bowyn Aerrow]

Granted, each morning your bed catches on fire.

Actually be stuck in another country may suit me well. While I'm an 'American' by birth, I seem to be quite the "socialist" by nature and would fit in with other Westernized/Industrial nations better for my political and ethical views on society than I do here in America.

There has been a decided decline in the USA over the past two decades - in everything - not just the rotting infrastructure but the incredible amounts of ignorance due to a poor education system which is worsening as time goes on. Take the notion that the UK is a socialist (ergo communist) Nation. This is a strong belief held by my neighbors. Democracies that are not the USA are socialist and American's don't want any part of socialist programs like universal health care.

Then there is that hugeness thing Americans got going on - if its bigger it is better (so the theory goes). Largeness is not my cup of tea... Everything is fucking huge - the family car is an SUV - 4 wheel drive for suburban living. Giant papermache houses with 4-5 bedrooms are 'starter' houses. 80" HDTVs, oh and lets not forget to mention the ever increasing waistlines which reflect the 'instant gratificatin super size me' mentality of Americans.

And the sense of entitlement and drum beating. We are Number one! The notion that everything in America is Better when in truth the USA's Golden years are long gone (forever, End of Empire and all of that rot), we rank below Cuba in health care, barely make a blip when it comes to childhood education... We do rank number one in incarceration rates per capita, we hold more people in prison than the USSR did at the height of its power.

I would gladly disassociate from the USA. /rant



I wish I had more asprin or something - forgot wine and its sugars lends itself to more powerful headaches and crap...
