It seems to me that our country is a long way down this road and picking up ever more speed.

@cwes41,

True. I just want to know how far are we going to go before the majority of us wake up.

Man...every single politician in the country should watch this...ESPECIALLY the Republicans! It's interesting...we rank pretty high on the "respect" scale (maybe 7/8 of the way up), somwhat high on the "power" scale (maybe 3/4 or 5/8 of the way up), definately a little low (1/4) on the "economic distribution" scale, and probably mid-way (1/2) on the "information" scale.

So I guess we're headed towards Despotism! Fuck. Lol, makes sense tho!

[macgeek2004]

Wow. It felt REALLY good to hear the Pledge of Allegence *without* "under God" in it!

Seriously! What dumb, racist, bigoted, or ignorant fuck put that in there in the 1st place?!

But man...most people don't even fucking say it right! I swear! Every time I hear someone say, "One Nation...Under God" instead of the proper "One nation under God" I just wanna punch them in the fucking face!
