It seems like our media spends all of its time trying to blame the democrats if they are conservative, or the republicans if they are liberal, meanwhile nothing changes. We the people call ourselves the leaders of the free world yet we have the highest incarceration rates. We the people can't smoke a plant that grows in the ground but the government and upper class can get away with rape and murder. We the people cannot research stem cells to cure diseases because "it is trying to play god" I promise you that argument was used by the church when people like Leonardo Da Vinci wanted to dissect corpses. We the people give companies the right to buy off our voices in government under the guise of free speech, since when did free speech cost money? We the people spend 600 BILLION dollars a year on our defensive budget in order to build new planes or tanks and send our brave men and women to die fighting people that live in caves, yes I know not all of the "terrorists" live in caves, but hey not all of them are terrorists either. We the people have asked for regulation on gun control but big money and our government got married long before the idea of two men getting married was even an issue. Scientific progress is yielding to religous objection and I think we can all look at the state that our social culture is in and agree that calling it dismal is putting a pretty happy spin on it. I look at all of this and it terrifies me but I hope it scares everyone else just as much, if you disagree with me please share your thoughts I would love to hear them, I promise to be polite and respectful of your right to have your own ideas so long as you do the same
