- Feel free to spread the following rant everywhere, it
makes for a good arguement against some idiotic Bush supporter....
-
- In a country where the poor and old cannot afford health
care, in a country where the economy is falling apart, in a country where
44 million people live on less than $12,000 dollars a year, in a nation
where 5 million people are homeless, in a country where the entire media
system is owned by only six media mega conglomerates, in a nation with
the highest crime rate, in a country with the world's largest prison population,
in a society where 60% of marriages end in divorce, in a country where
25% of kids under 12 live in poverty, in a country that cut 25 billion
dollars out of veterans benefits to help pay for a new war, in a country
where the gulf between the rich and poor is growing everyday, in a nation
that supports dictatorships in Saudi, Egypt, and Turkey, in a country where
the government is full of corruption, in a country with the world's highest
teen suicide and stress rates, and you're telling me our biggest problems
are TERRORISM and DRUGS?

- I am astounded that an 18 year old "kid" has
such a good "fix" on what is wrong with this country. Muscles
has great insight into what the problem is - if only more kids his age
were as astute we might not have to worry about the future of this country.
-
- If I could, I would e-mail "Muscles" and commend
him. As a teacher in a Middle School in NYC I must say it is VERY unusual
to come across a young man who can pinpoint the problems facing his and
every other generation of Americans.
-
- Keep up you posting of these great articles - and do
invite Muscles to post some more of his thoughts on your website.

- Right on. I'm 37, and this kid sounds more realistic
to me than ANY grown politician could even aspire to. I'm one of those
44 million, and fortunately we have a farm, and are able to raise some
of our own food. Well ok, most of it.
-
- I would like to add to Muscles' comments, if I may, regarding
the state of affairs. Let's not forget the media's constant bombardment
of things that we CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT. Everything from an $80,000 Hummer,
to Britney's latest, to facelifts, cellphones, huge stereos, and the list
goes on and on and on. They show us all the shiny and happy folks on TV,
and that is what we're supposed to be like. Buy all the latest stuff, keep
up on all the newest tech, or you don't count.
