Monkey See, Monkey Do!! And out government, and the BSA have no right in my opinion to Bi7ch about it. The US is over stolen ground (groans, not this story again). We stole this land, and the resources. So it's only fair that our legacy of thievery continue over the internet..... Just a thought....
Of course it was rejected, as I expected, But I feel this is a better spot to put it!
Sorry about the long windedness, but these are very straight forward, unbiased questions about general consensus in todays political landscape.
(break out the Weed-Be-Gone)
I don't consider myself to be an american ranting anti-americanism by any means. I actually consider myself quite the patriot, how else would I have the freedom to ask these questions. But for slashdot users, I ask the following questions in an attempt to stir up conversation, or changes perhaps?
1. We always hear about bills being piggy-backed or about the senate/house not even reading it out loud on the floor before it's voted on. Isn't this what the senate, and house were designed to do? REVIEW laws before they are passed to ensure they protect us?
And we hear this, and no one ever stands up and screams at the top of thier lungs! We just go about our business, saying "it's politics, i don't wanna hear it.." Has our legal system become so bloated, people have lost interest????
2. Whats next? I did have a long rant, but I calmed down. #2 is, What are we as americans supposed to do? Send more faxes, write more e-mails. We have no garuntee that these go through to the people who we intend. (We/I hope they do, but as we all know, electronic communication DOESN't have to go somewhere real)
Then, last, but not least. Once we have (and I believe we will, and many already have) lost faith in our legal system to protect us as americans, do we continue to watch it tower over us and just ignore it, or do we rebuild it.... and my question to rebuild it, HOW? IF/When/How it collapses, or pisses us off so much, how does a country of 300+ million people from 100+ backgrounds from 30+ religious creeds and 50 individual states rebuild from a totalitarianism form of government once it has taken root?
Or have we, as americans, accepted that in order for all these people from all these races/religions/sexes/etc... accepted that a government like ours must exist for us to exist?
Or will our social/business network crash along with the governments hold on it's people?
I am only 20 years old, and I fear for what our future holds in this country. Everyday I hear of politics this, crime that, So to restate my last question to all of the slashdotters out there.... WHATS NEXT??????
Another piggy back, another senators blatant dis-regard for god given (pick your god) rights as americans? Someone else chuckling and saying "Thats how it is, don't change the system, work in it!"? Where is the straw that is going to break the back, And how is the back going to break?
Thanks,
Dustin
