Think America!
Hey, I am a big fan of democracy. But the whole world is not made of people who have common sense. It is not made of people who care. It is not made up or people who want to make the world around them a better place to live. But America , like all nations, has citizens who do not know what is going on, and needs some on to tell them what is going on . They need someone to choose for them to make the selection process a little bit easy on them . Everyone is happy with their car, house, and credit card. That is all they want. That is all they care about. Some of the Americans care about Baseball, Football, Basketball, or even Hockey more than caring about politics. Hey they sing Star Spangled Banner before the game. Yeah, they speak of patriotism as their divine duty, but they do not give about what is going on in the white house. They base their opinion not on ideologies, and platform. Rather they base it on looks, laughs, flag pins, husbands, friends, and pastors. If you know what I mean. The media tries to tell you that the candidate is forgetting a certain fraction of the citizens, the “white working males”. They display, comments such as “guns” and “religion” and try to play with the words and give them new meanings. To the point it is getting ridiculous. I believe, that the sport fans are all confused, who should they side with. The media makes it seem as if they got it all figured out. But the truth of the fact, they forget to even mention that Ron Paul is still running. I guess because in their minds they have declared McCain as the winner. Go figure!
What America needs is a slap on the face. Something to wake them up. Something to make them ask the tough questions, not what the media has told them to ask. And I think that slap is coming. And it will hit us in our pockets. It will hit us, when more and more innocent people and our young men and women come back dead. It will hit us hard when we will lose our jobs. It will hit us hard when they whole world looks at us if we are delusional and gone mad. It will hit us hard when all social services go bankrupt when all the money is poured in the war on the ghost called “terrorism” forgetting that we at a certain time funded and created these terrorists.
Ah! I think. Just by thinking, this whole thing is driving me mad! I wish that America will wake up from their long sleep. Instead of counting sheep we need to count the number of the ones who have died. Wake Up!

Democratic Downfall
America stands on a precipice. Democracy is losing as the flagship nation of that ideal. The Electoral College cannot continue. If the population is truly to elect leaders in one voice, then all should have equal footing in that choice. If a president is elected because an electoral number is reached, but not in the popular vote, you will get disastrous leaders like George Bush.
I believe that this nation is ready for a change. The people of America know and understand who they are, and who controls their lives. This isn’t about a bunch of farmers that can’t spell their own name. This is about the dumbing down of a smarter America. The people should voice their ideas, and get them heard. It is time the structure of this flawed representative democracy is scrapped and rebuilt. It is only for the betterment of the legacy of a great and honorable people.
I really hope that you are right. I try to do everything I can as an active citizen. But the thing is I am one of a few. I know that this “few” is in the millions, but there are 300 million in Amemrica. So 2 or 3 or even5 million who are working hard to get the word out will have a great effect. there are a lot of us who are ready for change.
But, change can mean anything. Some call change from Bush to McCain is in fact “change”. I mean what kind of a Change is that. He is copy of bush, he can not even tell the difference between Iran and AlQuaeda.But that is what millions of Americans want.
That is why I lost all hope. there is no longer democarcy when a nation is ran by a bunch of radical fundemantalists convservative groups who control the media like Fox and brainwash the local good old Joe and Tom in Main street America. How can the people choose their leaders, if they are not allowed to think for themselves.
