im from the south too. unless you live here its hard to get a proper feel for america. if all you do is look at our current govt. and american media than you may come to these negative conclusions about america. it seems other countries are jealous of americas power. but dont categorize all of america. especially if you dont live here. there are alot of good people here and many beautiful places to live. i love america. that doesnt mean i love everything my country does. look at president bush's approval rateing it was like 36% last week the lowest since Nixon before he got impeached. obviously the sheep have been mislead by their shepherd and its a shame they were so naive to vote him into office in the first place imo.
