The USA is a relative teenager in the world being about 230 years old
And we all know that teens dont know shit!

Most countries have undergone severe and several changes in government. What form will our's take next time, and when is this next time? A democratic republic was good while it lasted but it has morphed into a corporate fascism. What's next? How much longer can we survive as we currently exist?

I personally think that we are too big and need to be broken up into about 6 or 7 smaller countries that can compete against each other for resources and markets. I also think that as long as corporations rule the world we are all going to be their servants. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic by thinking that we will ever throw off the binds of corporate slavery and debt and live as people and not consumers, eh.

1. The U.S. is a serial killer.
Serial killers often tortured and killed small animals when they were young. Our country tortured and wiped out whole cultures when we were young.

2. You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Bu**sh** is showing us the way.
