We have problems just like every other country in the world, but we have someting that others do not. Like the people of Libya for instance. If any of them spoke out about the Gov the way you just did they would be shot. It is called an elected Goverment put in place by the majority vote of the people. We have the right to complain and demonstrate against our own Gov but to what end. Listen I am with you on a lot of your discomfort about the Gov of the USA for the way they handles certain things, but we have a system in which every man and woman has the right to work to change it. If your not happy about something then do something about it. comprise your list of demands and or changes for the betterment of our country, and gather a few of your friends to discuss the matters which you wish to see changed. Then IF you receive their support you are on your way and either run for a position within the Gov where some good can be done to make those changes or elect one of your peers/friends to do it for your collective group. Get someone you feel you can trust in position where they can actually create change in your favor. You see the rich have already figured this out and that is why Obama is in office now. Otherwise you are spitting into the wind and it is coming right back into your face.

Talk is cheap. You have a choice. The people of Libya do not, and they are being killed by the hundreds & thousands for trying to make change in the way they live, because their Gov is totally corrupt and they do not have any choice but to follow what they are told to do, or DIE. I hear this every day and the answer is always going to be the same. Stop complaining and do something about what you do not like, or move where you think things are so much better.

The true contrymen of the USA hold their heads up high and stand tall for anyone who wants to have a life of freedom, but also expects them to earn their way in this land of equlaity. Yes our country makes mistakes just like all the rest, and yes there has been much suffering throughout the years on all sides for the freedoms you and I share today. The new helath care bill is a pure example of that fact. What a feasco that is, but Obama meant well, right? And yes there will be much more suffering in the future to defend the same and or change it in order to make it better. Is it perfect, hell no. Is there a better way to do things, maybe. If your so headstrong about your way being right or at least better, then get onboard and make the right changes. But be prepared to do battle with people (your peers) in our country who will not like your ideas, and will fight you every step of the way to stop you. That is called democracy. Majority rules every time. Majority can be looked at any way you like, but it only really matter at the polls anyway, and in the voting booths.

The will of the American people has always been that we will not give up and we will not lie down and allow anyone to tell us how to run our country. So what are you doing to change what you do not like? Complaining on an R/C site. Yea thats going to help. I may not agree with everything our Gov is doing here or in the rest of the world for that matter, but I support the freedoms which it stands for and I am out doing my part. The things that I am not happy with I can either vote against, or they are not that important for me personally to worry about. EIther way I (one American) can not change by myself. That is why we have an elected Goverment in the first place. If you are not happy with them, than rally against them and vote someone in who supports what you believe in. Otherwise your retort is nothing more than hot air. Truly I do not disagree with you. All I am saying is this is not the place to make your fight. This thread was started to discuss the air strikes on Libya. Considering that hudreds and probably thousands of people are being murdered simply because they wish to have a better life and Gadhafie does not agree. I guess this is not all that important to you, because what? Oh yea, you are mad about immigrants taking free medical care for their illnesses. The two subjects do not even belong in the same sentence. You can stand up for your rights and do something about them. So go do it in Congress. Don't be angry with me, because I am not your enemy. I did not write the constitution, but I damm well belive in it. You should to.
