I'm much more concerned with our ailing bill of rights than I am with our ailing citizens. I still don't like charging citizens for life-saving medical care. Doesn't make much sense to me outside of upper-class/private hospitals, but... whatever. It's not about to change, and at least we finally have SOME healthcare provided by the state, now.
Want me to be blunt? America doesn't need middleastern oil, you have a shit load of it to the north. On top that with ready technology right now we could replace pretty everything except cars with renewable alternatives. As for your bill of rights? Yeah Given the power of the nsa, the action of the obummer administration I'd be worried too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
