Our country needs our country to care about its people, to spend money on those who need it within our own borders. The world will crumble and destroy us as well as the earth if we don't do our part for the environment. Animals are becoming extinct, urban sprawl has no limits, and noise, air, and water pollution is rampant. Drug companies resemble drug lords, dispensing pills to wake you, put you to sleep, let you get through your day, decide when you want to die, determine how your children will look, and so forth. There is a pill for absolutely everything but the clincher is that there is very little research and most of it is biased or hidden, and the products are found to cause more medical problems and disasters. Our food is tainted with additives and chemicals and obesity is prevalent while video games replace exercise and outdoor play. We say there is no arms race, yet the budget allows for better nuclear weaponry and facilities. There is no dictatorship, yet Congress and the Senate do the bidding when the Ruler nods his head or pats them on their wallets. We should be building fences of friendship instead of hidden torture camps in other lands and more prisons. We dismiss the Geneva Convention and Kyoto but we will do anything for more oil and fuel. We show the dead and mutilated bodies of the other side, but are adamant that our dead not be disgraced. They have been in the worse way - a war that should never had happened, and one that was brought about by lies and falsehoods dressed up in suits and news conferences.

The Catholic Church is going bankrupt and closing parishes because of sex crimes and lies, corruption and greed permeate our government and civil servants. Soldiers are placed in harm's way and shoot to kill no matter the cause because of strain and fear, but there is no coming home or an end to the war. Congress, the Senate and your elected officials are sworn to uphold the wants of their people, yet they do as they are told and back off of the really important issues because of "politics" It just doesn't look good to condemn bad decisions and take a stand - instead go where the votes are and rake in the money while you can. The party name is all that matters because the power is the goal - not the people and true democracy.
