There Are Times When I Am Ashamed of Some Americans

[The Magic Pudding]

I find hardly a day goes by that I am not ashamed of something that its citizens or representatives have done. We aspire to be boss of the world no matter what that costs. We think socialism is a dirty word but think who compulsively pursue more billions of dollars are celebrities. Most seem to think capitalism is our highest most defining national value. We have the best political system money has bought. We're uninterested in anyone else in the world but want to clandestinely run their countries so that we can all sleep a little easier at night. I'd leave it but I keep hoping all the boorish people will instead.

I find the freedom thing odd, all these freedoms have been sacrificed, you can be tossed in jail for smoking a plant, if you're an ugly bastard who has to pay it's jail for you, couldn't even have a drink for years. It seems it's companies that have the freedom to screw without interference. If some improvement is suggested, say healthcare, scrape the Westboro shit off the street, ah no that's impeding our freedom. It just seems you guys have been conned, more than normally conned.
