I've realized that the older I get the less enlightened I become. Life was so easy as a child; no worries, always happy, lots and lots of fun. I was at complete peace with the world, and with myself. Funny how life can stick a big as thorn in ya!!

last thing....
It's extremely easy to criticize capitalism/democracy from a socialist perspective, but it's hard to point to an alternative that has been proven to be superior. Surely the "solution" here is not in black and white form. In fact there are some attributes of our government/economy that are socialist in principle, and there are aspects of China's gov/economy that are capitalist. Man has been struggling for 10,000 years to find the best form of Government, and we're not there yet.

Im all for a minimalistic democratic/republic society. I am for a capitalist society with a low flat tax and a few unalienable rights such as the right to bear arms and the right to free speech. I like Thomas Jefferson's governmental point of view myself. I suppose I would really enjoy a libertarian society. I am also against any society that has welfare or any other programs where people feel the need to assume that the government or anyone for that matter owes them ANYTHING really. No one owes you anything, you are not entitled to anything either except for a few things. It is not the governments responsibilty to be a nanny state.

socialist policies that are being put in place in: uruguay, argentina, venezuela, cuba, bolivia are benefitting PEOPLE much more than our US National Healthcare system. 42 million out of 300 million, 1/4 of them kids have no health insurance, and we claim to be a nation where anyone can achieve the American Dream... Did you know that the majority of people that filed bankruptcy last year had medical bills they couldn't take care of?

Well Bud what im trying to say is that today many people abuse the welfare system. It was supposed be there for people for a few months until another income is possible. Now a days people live on it and teach their kids to live on it. Many people even us their access cards to buy ciggarettes and hoe-hoes. WTF?
