While the rest of the world has been moving away from facism and centralized "social" engineering, toward democracy and a higher standard of living, we Americans (yes, USA) have been sitting on our asses letting our individual freedoms and lack of governmental intrusion be taken away by zealous political/legislative activity. Don't worry, soon (hopefully around the time of my demise), the process will be complete, and you will enjoy a USA without the ramblings of Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh, and me.......It'll be illegal for these folks to post their opinions (and sometimes uncomfortable 'facts') on the internet, and you'll only hear the "proper" news and political information distributed by the "approved" news agencies....(i.e., talking heads on major networks)....shouldn't be long...... If my sarcasm/cynicysm doesn't make the cultural barrier, someone please translate for me....I was raised in a different America, and only speak English.....they thought it was all I needed....the damn fools!!!
