" Vagabond, dear friend,I am not the least bit surprised by your animosity towards the U.S.
I served in the military forces of this counrty, defending the dream that brought this country into being. That was back when I was still naive enough to believe that country still existed!
Since then, I've awakened to the fact that this nation only resembles that one superficially, at best. Yes, I am now very cynical towards my country.
I do not regret any of my service, BUT, I don't actively recommend it to others anymore. In fact, when my son, Lord_Savaunt,
decided to cancel his plans to join the U.S.
Navy I was so relieved, I wept for joy!
I am now an anti-war activist, and semi-isolationist, who deeply wishes that this
country would learn to mind it's own business, and let the rest of the world live life how ever they wish!
No, I do NOT think all governmental systems ezcept Capitalist Republics are necessarily bad,nor that Capitalist Republics are the best possible way. And, obviously, I don't believe christianity is the ""be-all,do-all,end-all"" religion!
take care, and never forget to question authority when they seem to be out of control. (because they probably ARE!)
