TrappedByMyself say-"What's even sadder is that you work to spread the apathy and cynicism which keep people from bothering to act. You're a tool of your enemy."

Being completely awake to the situation in, and directly affected by, the U.S. of A. does mean cynicism and apathy, when one also feels that their choices are limited to marching up and down a pavement or casting a vote into an unreliable and corrupted election, or writing a letter to one of the heads of the enemy in Washington.

What one would see from having their eyes wide open and a healthy mental faculty is that the apathy ends when we realize that we have some other choices.

People need to start shunning the US.

Abroad, businesses need to stop doing so much business with the US.

Domestially, unhappy citizens need to start looking at moving to another country. There are plenty out there, folks, and you'd be amazed at exactly how disgusting the US has become, compared to some other western, 1st world, rich-as-fook countries that don't seem to be hated the world over. You might be a nice person, but you are just Borg here.

Put your energy, time, and tax revenue into a more noble, honorable society. Either that, or start flipping over police cars, judge and sentence government officials for their crimes against this country, and do what must be done for an *effective* result.

I moved out of the US of frikkin A 10 years ago and I couldnt be happier. And guess what: not one penny of tax money earned on my sweat paid for one single DU bullet.

Let's stop pussyfooting around here. Anyone who wants *relavent* change and thinks that traditional means are gonna get us there is nothing more than a taxpaying, war machine greasing part of the problem. ...No offense.
