One of the things that struck me dureing that clip is the pictures of "The Great leader" being in class rooms of the children.

As is to say that big brother is always watching.

Then I'll point out that even in my own childrens classrooms they have a picture of the president on the wall, not only Bush, but Reagan as well.

And when I was in the Navy, there was a picture of Bush Sr. on the wall in my shop.

America is giveing away its freedom in the face of a threat, that much is a known fact admitted by even the most hardcore of Bushites.

Just because N Korea has 60 years on us as a police state doesnt mean America wont catch up!
真的! True!

But America DOES have checks and balances that many other countries do not have...

FOR EXAMPLE, I currently live in a country that blocks GOOGLE on a REGULAR basis...WIKIPEDIA.COM is always blocked...and if you search news in the local language that has the slightest possibility of being "anti-government" it will be censored...

IF it isn't blocked, it's tracked....LOL...:smokin:

America does have serious problems....AND I don't plan on going back anytime soon...I am just an expat who is trying to point out the fact that Americans bitch too much about their situation...(which is exactly what needs to be done :thumbsup

If you don't like America, then you should try somewhere else...I am not trying to sound like my grandman or anything here. I don't mean to sound like some Conservative....(because I am most certainly not! :stoned....I just mean to say that if you want to talk about any other country you should definitely at least have a year or two of world travel under your belt. :thumbsup:

PEACE! :smokin:
