Thing is, over here, when you point out how America could be better by not making so many mistakes, others accuse you of being un American. Like when I say we should not be using depleted uranium weapons, some accuse me of hating America.

Why do some think you're great only if you're the biggest assholes on the planet?

And we are not all greedy, still have a pretty strong Dude/hippie community here, just the lame stream media finds us boring. I mean shit, there are more Buddhists in America than Muslims, but you wouldn't know that from watching TV.

We can change societies definition of success away from the moronically simplistic notion the person with the most money when he dies wins. To a more thoughtful and balance definition of what a life well lived looks like.

I think the U.S.A. stands for United Sales of America.

Unfortunately.

Wish it weren't so.

USI, United States Incorporated.

lol, no kidding.

Still, I'm glad we get to believe the way we want without much bother.  In fact, "alternative" religions, beliefs, what have you seem to be on the rise here.  Free your mind, your ass will follow.
At least I'm housebroken.
