We are living in an interestening time. No doubt.
My vacation is nearly ended, five weeks of leisure and a lot of time to think about all sorts of things...
...and I have come to the conclusion that we are watching the upcoming fall of United States of America.
The Internet plays a role in this. For the first time people not knowing each other can find other of the same way of thinking, and organize. We can see quite some political action. Now this action is formed more by groups that act upon specific matters rather than joining a political party.
Starting somewhere with the Vietnam War (In Vietnam known as the American War) the different US administrations have effectively built a solid base for those that get irritated and upset by the american foreign affairs. To me it seems as not many, in percentage that is, americans understand what others think about the US and the political role the US has on Earth. This has made it easy for american companies to take advantage of cheap raw material and cheap labour in other countries.
What a horror to discover that some start to protest.
Now when the elections are getting closer you can see some activity here i this forum. Kerry sucks according to some. So does Bush (known to most already of course).
According to me they both suck. It really doesn't matter who wins the election. It's just different names but mainly the same politics. This is looking at the US from the outside. (Your internal affairs are up to you americans and there might be differences between Kerry and Bush, I don't know that much about it.)
The interestening thing is to see a great nation slowly die without caring to discuss it, not to mention the reasons for why this is happening, or act upon it. I might be very pessimistic but I see, not very far from now, a long period of chaos in all imaginable ways.
The great land of freedom and hope doesn't permit a truly free speech any more, masked as terror prevention anyone can get their mail and phones tapped. Privacy is a joke and encryption is suspected. From my distant point of view many americans find this good and have no problems with the Act of Patriotism. Economics are totally out of hand, democracy is not longer important, a big share of the population is in jail and the administration (whatever it is called) keep to help the big companies to earn more, wherever that will take us all.
Note 1: I'm not trying to debate anything here. The above is just my own reflections and thoughts. I'm not very happy with them and so just needed to put them into words.
Note 2: I'm not native englishspoken. Please bare with my language.
Take care out there!
