What kind of world do we live in that promotes such hate and violence?  How is it that people on the other side of the globe are being blown to bits by suicide bombers and here, in America, we are blinded by the truth that we are a people happy to have the wool pulled over our eyes?

I am disheartened by so much violence.  I am disgusted by wars over oil and power.  I am sickened by our societies lack of opening their eyes and seeing the horrible truth that is in front of their faces.  We are a great evil, obsessed with money and perfection at any cost.  We accept wholeheartedly the "lies" because they are much more pleasing than the truth.  Nobody wants to know the truth!  Then it would tear apart our view of a perfect world and force us to realize that we have been used; that we have been living our own lies. 

Open your eyes!  The American 'system' has serious flaws and it is failing us!  People who need medical care cannot get it.  People who have serious, even life-threatening illnesses, are turned away every day because of corporations such as insurance and pharmaceutical companies.  People die, even after paying insurance premiums for years and years because of the 'almighty' dollar.  America is a monopoly.  The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.  We spent billions of dollars to fight wars in other countries, to aid some countries, to put men into space, to pay politicians, but we cannot even help our own people?!  What kind of government leaches off it's own citizens and stands back to watch them wither away? 

And what's scarier is that most people don't even see it!

By the way, where is Osama Bin Laden?  Are we even still searching for him or is it just about the oil?  Exactly what are we fighting for?!

All of them.

Yes, even Canada.  Instead of the body, it's the mind at the hands of state-controlled-media.

I have to say this, but we are not entitled to health care, and frankly, I've seen how poorly governments do simple tasks, so I'd never trust them with my health.  As a farmer, I've got a fairly old school and very reliable medical-dental-vision plan:  Work until I can't, then die.  It's served my people for...  However long human beings have been an agrarian species.

This issue is not entirely American, the world at large is suffering from delusion.  But you asked the right questions, and it's a good start!

Re: Disgusted

Unfortunately, most people are blind, or refuse to see "the truth" even when the truth is in their faces. People are so preoccupied with nonessential, spending most of their time spending than coming to terms with all of the elements that are tearing this country apart.

Also, Saik said it clearly - "What kind of government leaches off it's own citizens and stands back to watch them wither away?" The priority is the war, no matter how many different way "others allege we are the priority. (November 2007 - 37,000 soldiers killed, 80,000 soldiers wounded, 130 soldiers in Iraq and $567 billion wasted, according to Senator Joe Biden.)

Osama Bin Laden? (Yesterday’s Post newspaper headline was "Blood for Blood - Osama vows war on Israel" Obviously he's still free to cause violent and needless disturbance wherever he wishes and on his timetable) Yeah, according to Bush, the search is still on! The promise he made to the American people after the 911 tragedies, that capturing Bin Laden and making him pay was one of his major priorities. Of course, most of us know that it’s about the oil, not justice for the American people.
