Sooo, my point here is this; what does that say about us here and now? Why do we tolerate this BS? Why can't this nation focus on anything long enough to not eff it up? Just my interpretation...
How do you understand Nebe's "point".His point requires the elimination of everyone but those Arion to achieve the kind of place he wants to live.Simply put...clueless.The only interpretation of Nebe's statements is what you said:

"I understand Nebe's point. All that we complain of in this country would not be a factor if ruled as Nazi Germant was. Illegal immigrants, poof -gone. The homeless, gonzo. PCedness ( new word ) never happened.All the things that we hate would not happen."
This is called fascism.

The only interpretation that can be made is that Nebe and yourself hate immigrants and homeless people if you both stand by your statements.This is very un-democratic party-like.Shame.

Is this what you want?

It's called critical thinking...don't be so literal.

Thanks, Spence. I call it "Introspection". What I've written isn't meant to be literally taken, but to show the absurdities and parallels of both our cultures, abstract thought, if you will. It's about our nation's lack of drive toward anything creative and productive. It's about "The Greatest Nation on Earth" and it's inability to care for all it's citizens. And it's parsimony to that end. The bottom line, the end of the month rules our world here and don't doubt it for a second. And I really don't think that taking our Lord and Savior's name in vain with help your argument one iota. Not you Spence.

We ,the citizens of this alleged "greatest County" have every oppurtunity and advantage to better our world and the world as a whole. The Soviet Union crashed and burned in the 90's and what did we do with the money that was freed from our BS Cold War? Start a bunch of little ones. Meanwhile our bridges are falling down, and we have potholes that will rip your tires off. On the Interstates, which were meant and designed to move military vehicles rapidly about this country in our defense. We deserve better that what is delivered. We are better than we are treated by our so-called leaders. (I call them shameless whores). So , whenever you get the chance, make it clear to our leaders just how you feel, vote. That's right one man or woman's simple opinon, a vote. It WILL set you free.

Do I hate where I'm living so much? Yes, I do. The reason, The true potential has nowhere near been approached. We're all too busy watching American Idol. I freakin' cringe when someone asks me if I saw it last night. I just want to die..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Cool

When a nations people have it good, as we do now(for the most part) they become oblivious to what the government is up to until things start to look badly and personal freedoms are lost no one pays attention (more time for American Idol viewing).

That is whart happened to Germany in the mid 30's. They were taken out of a severe depression and by whom? Adolph of course. Now, what with this new found prosperity came a resurgencer in national pride, this of course was engineered so to say by der Feuhrer and his pals. Things were goot, das money wat flowing and suddenly blinf trust in the Government provided the Nazi Party to go where they really wanted to go.

In a way we are heading that way here in the US. Government has tightened the riegns on us. We loose more personal freedom each time a towel head drives a car bomb into a crowded market, 'Homeland Security" passes another bill of lost rights. Chertoff, under political pressure I assure you is using the "threat" word to help buoy the Presidents failing image, nothing more. Show us the proof.

Fortunately or unfortunately maybe we, as a nation have woken up to whats really afoot in D.C. The problem is in order to right our house some sort of revolution has to take place. This can be done at the voting booth but unfortunately both the GOP. the Dems and Independents up for the job all kinda (some really) suck.

Our Government is a mess, plain and simple and something radical needs to be done, soon to save us from ourselves.

Why even try.........
