Yeah our government sucks no doubt about it but that is completely off topic

And its really great forward looking efficiency to decrease funding available for Community Colleges & Technical Colleges, while at the same time increasing the length of prison sentences for youthful drug offenders. once again our government sucks, so what
The real issue here, is what sort of Nation do we want to be? It may be an unpopular thing to say, but capitalism in a democratic nation should have limits. Profit is the driving force behind capitalism: the public wellfare must be the driving force within a democracy: I think the public's state is already too pampered, the government needs to do less not more without a vibrant society to serve & sell thing to, corporations would be non-exsistent. ....pjwky
your right, of course there are many unAmerican societies
