The problem with America is not the Republicans or Liberals, the problem is the people. People are too afraid to stand up for what they believe in because of being tormented and bashed upon by those who do not agree. Our problem is that we have no respect towards one another and all we do is fight and complain to each other about who is right and who is wrong instead of coming to an agreement on certain things. It's ok to have pride, but don't walk around like we are the best there ever was. :/

Well that's a generalization if I've ever seen one. Though, I admit this is a common American fallacy plenty of people are aware college is not the ends to justify the means. It's become a necessity in making enough money to remain lower-middle class in most cases...me I just want to make enough to travel the world, yet still make a difference in peoples' lives (and not so much America)

America is a great experiment that has never happened on this scale historically. We are now seeing this project run its course, and not to a good end. I hope that everyone can sober up and grab the reins and put it back on track. If this experiment fails then we are all royally fucked.
