7. It feel hopeless
and then to take away our belief in free elections. I was late to catch on, to the concern of election tampering and all of the dirty tricks in Florida in 2000 and the crazy stuff in Ohio in 2004. To think that we might not be able to vote them out because KKKarl is 'fixing' all the votes. They need special punishment for dashing my patriotism. I like to believe in my country, believe that it is good and helps people have better lives. I don't feel that pride. I actually hate the fervent Nationalism, the keep your kind off my property pugnaciousness, that wants to build a fence across the bottom of my country. They want to fence me in. I don't like that. And the kicker is: no one is crying about the Canadian border. Is that because they aren't Mexicans? So Mexicans are so bad, how? We been doing business this way for how long, and now it's a problem? I don't get it? Am I, too, Blond? What about the Pacific and Atlantic shores? What about the great lakes? A fence is the damn dumbest ideas I ever heard of. So is the whole Immigration bill. So are the Wars. What are we doing in Afghanistan anyway. We have been lead the wrong direction as far and as fast as they could run the intention for the last six years. In six years ruined 600 years of Common Law, The Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus. They are The Destroyers
