But I don't think it's fair to basically bash the US for not doing enough for people here or the rest of the world. It's like the US can't do anything right or wrong. If we stay out of Iraq, we hear of the oppression and weapons programs. If we go in, we're greedy for oil. Even though we still let Iraq have control of it's own resources and help them set up a free democratic society. It's like no matter what, there is this idea that America is basically greedy and evil. We can't do everything and we're still people. Most of which are doing what we think is best based on the information we have.

I guess my bottom line here is why is it always America's fault? What about China and their human rights? What about Iran and their defiance to the world community? What about the genocide in Darfur? Where is the responsibility of other governments to not oppress their people and keep them from economic growth? All of those things are on the US?

Because faith without works is dead.

I don't see any real benefit in dabating with you. But, you clearly have missed my point. I never implied that it's "America's fault". America is a democracy. So, what I am really saying is be patriotic. According to a recent poll, 80% (a supermajority) of Americans across party lines agree that "Big Corporations" have too much power, that OUR government is not focused on the right priorities and that more needs to be done for children and the environment. This condition exists because we let it. Our system of government has been hijacked by big corporations which by definition are only concerned with profit. Look at what Wal-Mart has done to small town America and sweatshops in China and South America. The oil industry has posted record profits while you and I pay $3.50 a gallon for gas and the value of the dollar plumits at historic rates.

It is our responsibility to become the change we wish to see. So, get up, stand up! Keep making videos for Youtube that make people think. Vote! Vote with your money! Don't suport business that destroys life! Write a letter to your congressman. Be kind. Drive less/walk more. Plant a tree for God's sake! Love your children. Encourage them to do the same.

This isn't about blame. It's about taking responsibility.



Thank you,

Peace!
