A letter to the United States of America.

By demonicus

Dear United States of America,

This is my official letter of resignation. Due to circumstances outside of my controll, I am unable to continue with my blind faith, and unending loyalty. I can no longer allow my beliefs to be trampled on. I will not allow myself to become a slave to the system, and I will not allow myself to become a mindless drone, dutifully working toward my eventuall and seemingly pointless demise.

    The only real problems with America are we don't concentrate enough on education and we're too concentrated on making everyone feel at home instead of defining a culture for ourselves. Yes, we've been in wars, we've started wars; but every modern major power has. I'd like to see how America is anymore imperialist than anyother country. Hello, Britian built a fucking empire that lasts well into this day (see the commonwealth). No one gives them shit for being imperialist. Yes, we have an economic down turn. Wan; we're all fucking feeling it. It's not like everyone in the government is sitting on their asses doing nothing but whacking off oil companies; but that is all that the average American seems to be doing in between episodes of Deal or No Deal.

    If you want someone to blame for the state of America, blame the fucking citizens for not giving two shakes of a fucking stick to stand up for anything that doesn't involve a super sized Big Mac meal or "reality" television. The government can't force people to be active in the republican process -- we're not a democracy, learn your words -- and if no one gives a shit to see beyond red and blue then the goverment doesn't know what people really want. The state of America is our own ruin. Fucking deal with it and do something instead of bitching about it.

    The sad part is that despite what you wrote being what 'SHOULD' happen it never will, as the forces of control is already to much and it's become JUST A GAME, ONE THAT YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT...TO PLAY

    Wait, I forgot it's chic to blast the United States for your problems. So go ahead and blare your Green Day and be rebellious. I'll be over here giving a shit about real issues.

  • A former member wrote: hmmmm... well, since the above post does not use the word 'imperialism' nor 'democracy' I'm more than happy to take up this debate on behalf of Demonicus. I will try to learn my words in the process, thanks. First, if you would be so kind as to instruct me on imperialism: To be sure, the USA was part of the imperialistic efforts of Britain during the English Renaissance. But what I would like to know is, what other world leader (no third world countries) has sought to advance its imperialistic growth through military force and invasion since, let's say, the Nuremberg Trials? Korea, Russia... China, maybe Syria, Iran, et al., and now the USA... ? I never voted for Bush, so I did my part (of course, there's no guarantee that these events would not have come to pass if someone else were in office, but it seems less likely with out Cheney and Rumsfeld). And I think part of this republic's process of being a republic... part of what makes it what it is... is people bitching about it.

  • A former member wrote: I believe that congress is taking a vacation... it's not that we're in a recession, capitalism is inconstant and prone to 'corrections', it's the way that the banks are being bailed out but not the people who lost their homes. Should those who created these balloon mortgages be able to sustain their level of luxury even while people who were victims of unfair lending practices are foreclosed upon? And I suppose you would rather people just shut up and take it because that's going to educate us and others? So if we all just close our mouths we'll somehow learn a lesson and then the reality of our state will become miraculously better? Is that consistent with USA's history and constitution? Is that really part of our culture (culture to humans is, by the way, like tone to the spoken word or a valley to a mountain, there is not one without the other)? I agree some people really need educated...

  • A former member wrote: I can no longer claim my allegiance to a government that bails out the very financial institutions that robbed me of my home and stripped me of my pay. I must lift my broken self from the truly awesome fucked up policies that lay at the foundation of a shockingly incompetent government whose faulty imperialism has conquered only its own future stability.... I agree with Adaml, this is not close to being done

    woah. no offense, but what makes you so special as to say, "if you decide not to waste my time, post again". Who put you up on your pedestal?

  • A former member wrote: I'm on no pedestal. I'm just fucking tired of political rants that have no real content. If you're gonna write it, write it well. If you have a problem with my comment, report it. I don't really give a shit. As for you, Tara, I read it because I gave it a chance. I wasn't wasn't wasting my own time. How am I supposed to do that, when I didn't write the thing? But it's whatever. You can all go to political hell and leave me in metaphorical heaven. :]

  • A former member wrote: Also. Did you even fucking read the poem? Next time comment on the poem, instead of attacking me. Thanks.

    The point of these sites is so we can post what we will, dear. It's the freedom of speech, whatever it means these days. You are simply wasting your own time. If you don't enjoy it, then necessarily you shouldn't read it. It's as simple as that.

    THAT would require a level of common sense, which sadly, thanks to our own government, is not at all common these days!
