>>132487 I have no doubt that the reason Bush managed to get into power is because 1/4th of those 3/4ths who don't support him didn't vote. I can't, however, accept that those people are too busy 'trying to stay alive' to spend 5 minutes out of their day to make sure corrupt, maybe even evil, people don't end up running their country.
It's a matter of negligence, ignorance, and self absorption. If you're an American and you understand what the problems are, don't come on here and try to argue about the virtues of your country. The fact is, America has been radiating nothing but negatives in the form of foreign policy, ultra-capitalism, and superficial pop-culture for decades. The rest of the world doesn't care what good you can do at this point; they care about minimizing the damage you're causing and have the potential of causing.
Certainly, I realize having your way of life attacked can do nothing but make you defensive, but I would urge you to take something from it as well.
