I'll even go further than kindred. I'll admit I'm a socialist, I don't believe in free, private enterprize that has more rights than people, I think enterprize needs to be heavily regulated, I think government should be put back in the community with the central government doing mostly the progressive things like determining environmental policy, human rights, all that stuff, but people should be allowed to run the actual way everything goes on a community level.

I'll go even further, I don't hate Bush, I believe I'm connected to all humans, from Bush to Osama Bin Laden and to Hitler, and I don't hate any of these people, but I think they're radicals who chose murder as their path. I think the current United States government is run by a bunch of fat pigs who run the country like a business and are only interested in what chunk they can take out of it.

I think the country was founded by fat pigs. When the proletariat rose up against England it was because England was trying to enforce a monopoly over them. It was economical oppression, and the people decided to rebel against the rich in general, but a group of rich people decided to use this and say, "Don't raid our houses, we're on your side, we're trying to help you, go raid their houses."

I think this country was founded on deceit, the founding fathers were men only interested in protecting their own assets, so like any other rich people, they simply adjusted their stances. I think it was made prosperous by bloodshed, with ruthless indian murderers going on rampages until all the west was settled.

Furthermore, the good ideals the country was founded on are being completed ignored by those in power. They don't give a crap about privacy, if they did they wouldn't scan emails for subversive language or tap phones without warrants. They don't care about protecting the people from big business, which was an underlying factor in the revolution. Big businesses stomp over the proletariat every single day. It's just horrifying to think that everything has gotten so freaking bad.

So, as a hard-core liberal, people tend to ask me (when I go to places that have these types of people). "If you don't like it you just can get out!" (I know that's not a question but they probably don't know the difference so who cares.)

My answer is this: Why would I take my tail in hand and flee from a problem? I was born here, this is where I make my stand. I can't change the world from Canada. This is a country founded on protest, founded on people who were sick and tired of being oppressed by big-businesses and royal investors who sent their armies to protect the business. This is a country that's progress is based on dissent, that thrives on dissent. Dissent is a sign of a healthy democracy, and if you don't like it, you can get out.
