This has got to be one of the most piss-poor attitudes I've ever heard. There is no reason to be ashamed of anything you have control over, whatever your reason.
You're ashamed to work for a certain company? Quit.
You're ashamed to go to school at a certain institute? Drop out.
You're ashamed that you have any of a myriad of socially frowned upon habits? Get help.
I think you get the point here. Be supportive of the things you do and are involved in. By being an American, you are involved in the things America does. Reasons and specifics aren't important.
You are free to disagree. That's awesome--I support and applaud your decision to disagree. But saying "I am ashamed," you're just blame-shifting, and no one's ever won an argument that way.
An MBA is what it takes to succeed in a tough market these days. I graduate with a CS degree in about a year, and am planning to go straight back and get the MBA.
That sort of leadership and business knowledge goes far.

We pay $20-$45 as it is for cable/satellite T.V. in order to watch a bunch of ads mixed in with the content.
It's like living under a flightpath: at first, you can't deal with all the jet planes, but after a while you don't even realize they're there.
Riiight. And it'll do all of this instantaneously by reading your brainwaves.

Oh, well, you don't like dead baby jokes, either.
Right... South Korea's currently at 56% pirated.

In other news, several RIAA higher-ups were crushed to death under a hailstorm of pocket-protectors, retainers, and taped-together eyeglassses.
I know, response to flamebait=flamebait. But hey.
