I am So Sick!!: A Rant and a change in direction

I am so sick and fed up with governments. I actually believe an anarchy could work better than this current regime. The Administration is more concerned about staying in power and taking over the hole God**** world, they ignore us.

I watch countless and countless threads about how 'we have no rights' 'we are sheeple' 'martial law is right around the corner'. They are all true, people put so forth much effort into telling us this, and I applaud them on that.

I am just so fed up with government, they talk about their own 'Economic Solution' when people AROUND the COUNTRY and WORLD suffer from poverty, disease, and violence every minute of every day. How normal, everyday people struggle to make ends meet, and how most of us are struggling to keep a job, attain an education, or plain simply doing what we do.

They don't care about you or me, they care about THEMSELVES and their MONEY and how they can retire with Billions of dollars to fool around with and have all the power they want.

Leaders promise us, but don't go through. We wanted Change, but all we got was the same. Leaders are more concerned about attaining more power rather than me concerned for EVERYONE. Being is that position, you have the responsibility to act. But yet everyday, normal, caring people do not take action, they continue on, hoping someone else will fix the problem.

Finally, the current political administration has dug us into a hole so deep, I am truly convinced that I will NEVER have enough time, money, help, and energy to fix the problem, or for that matter another person. We have a crisis so large on our hands, a Stadium full of people willing to fix the problem, all equipped with the resources and willingness, they could never fix it.


I am sick and fed up with a Government who is plotting behind all of our backs, taking around are so called 'human rights' and more importantly, our ability of CHOICE. We no longer make choices for ourselves. We allow others to make them for us, degrading ourselves and our posterity.

We live in a world which has never seen a greater problem. At least the Middle Ages had some form of recognizable hierarchy that could MAKE DECISIONS and FOLLOW THOUGH WITH THEM.

Honor and pledges were once sacred to us and our very blood, but today they are thrown around like paper airplanes.

I am so sick and fed up that I am convinced to pack up and live the rest of my life hiding out in Northern Canada or Siberia.

But what we all need to do, is to TAKE SOME FORM OF ACTION. Our current path of action is clearly not the way we want to be headed, and currently, the man steering the ship has his own, narrow-minded path the BENEFITS A FEW WEALTHY PEOPLE.

We don't care anymore, not for others, not for the group, and not even for ourselves. We are a group of people concerned about concerning ourselves with other people's affairs.

Our world is one that needs a great change is course of action and direction if we truly want a better world.

I call upon you to list your own rants and what form of action you want, anything. Anything is better than what were doing now. Anything.

You're right.
But too many people are still too comfortable and willfully ignorant of what's going on.
It will take alot more people getting to this point, and it will have to get alot worse, before it ever gets better.

We need to quit reelecting the same politician to Congress.

I get tired of the same cronies being in there passing their own self served needs. They could care less about the average Tom, Dick, or Harry. The only time they treat us halfway human is prior to an election.

I don't think it matters one little bit who you elect - When they get into power they change.
It happens and will happen over and over.

That's like playing blackjack in a casino and saying "I'm tired of playing against the house," so you go to another casino expecting things to be different.
It's all a scam, it doesn't matter who you elect, it's their masters you should be worried about.

You can't just "not elect" them.
Because the next preselected candidate you "elect" will be just another puppet with a different face and name.

Don't just hate the puppet, hate the man pulling the strings of the puppet too. Place your contempt where it rightfully belongs.

You and ASHAMED AMERICAN are 2 of a kind.

Embarrassed of your country and mankind in general. O.K. fine. That is your right.

Some other stats...

Historical Poverty Tables

U.S. poverty rates in half from 50 years ago

AMERICANS GIVE $241 BILLION TO CHARITY IN 2003

American individuals, estates, foundations, and corporations gave an estimated $240.72 billion to charitable causes in 2003, according to Giving USA 2004, a study released by Giving USA Foundation. This is an increase of 2.8 percent over a revised estimate of $234.09 billion for 2002. This is the highest rate of growth seen since 2000.

U.N. reports that AIDS could be wiped out in 10 years.

Young people have just put an entirely new direction in the Presidency.

Seems that you are just a complainer.

I donated some hard earned cash to Ron Paul....even though hes not president, he is still speaking and more are listening. At the very least I feel better about myself for giving to someone who will stick his neck out and really try to change the system.

Damn right I'm ashamed of my country, it's been hijacked and most people are too busy watching 'dancing with the stars' and worrying about mantaining their own comfort to realize that it has even happened.

Let me get this right, you're proud of your country because we gave money to charities? Are you also proud that we gave nearly a trillion to bail out big business? How proud are you of the lives that have been, and will be, lost due to failed American foreign policy?

Young people have just put an entirely new direction in the Presidency.

That is yet to be seen, he's not even in office yet. I'm glad you have such blind faith in our new president. However, I don't give my trust away, if he wants it he will have to earn it just like everyone else does. I don't get dazzled by words, I need results.

Seems that you are just a complainer.

And proud of it too, every major change has started with someone saying: "you know what? This sucks, we can do better."
How many great changes have taken place as the result of complacency?
