Reply #11: Know what I get up every morning thinking?

[Solly Mack]

I get up every morning and think, "My country is a war crime nation"....and then I think about all the other things wrong with my country. All the other problems - all the other bad things. So every day for me is a day of "My country is a war crime nation now facing an economic collapse"..."My country is a war crime nation where people die from poverty..primarily because of the lack of concern about poverty and its consequences" Change poverty out with any issue...it's always "My country is a war crime nation and this ______ is also happening"

Sometimes I envy the people that just can move on from the US being a war crime nation. Maybe they aren't moving on and just switch to the issue they can deal with better. The one they feel they can solve. Maybe the economy is just easier to talk about. I dunno.

But I can't move on and it shapes every single thing about America for me.

I know some will say that it's all different....but I can't help but feel that it's all connected. And not just because of everything that has happened in the last 8 years under Bush.

What kind of people torture other people? The same kind that allow poverty to be a death sentence. The same kind that put profit before people. The same kind who think no matter what they have done wrong, they somehow deserve to be rewarded.

I'm just ranting. Your post just brought up some issues that are completely my own.
