Yes. And the evidence is that the ones who have all the money are in it for the short fix. America is being looted for whatever it has left. In due time, we will be fucked. Kind of exciting

The idea behind America is still sound and operational along with "Free Markets". But those ideas are waaaay back in our rear view mirror. The game is being manipulated. An even cursory glance will reveal that. Revolution or civil war is where we are headed against the powers who have rigged the game.
And sooner rather than later.
History teaches that "people" are corrupt and dumb. And it just gets worse over time. Just look at the most involved posters on this very forum for example. Totally entrenched and herd animal. That needs to be broken up for a new birth of freedom.
Time to toss the whole goddamn thing. Then when the new boss gets too entrenched, we get rid of his ass too!!
And so it goes..
We get a brief period of enlightenment followed by another cycle of oppression. Described as "liberty" by those who benefit the most and on to yet another era of oppression led by a fresh batch of assholes..
And so it goes..

it's definitely not a lost cause. it still has pretty decent living standards compared to other countries, but of course there are pro's and con's. america is a country with a lot of potential, good and bad. and just like for every country, there will come a time when it faces a struggle to sink or swim. whether it sinks or swims is realistically beyond our control as individuals, so we're kinda just fucked and going along for the ride.

I believe that this coutry is broken as well. But I'm not going to move. I don't know if any other countries are significanly better. You can't get away from human civilization these days or from the global new world order. I just hang out in the country with my animals and don't participate fully in the rat race.
SB 510 will be used to prohibit Americans from growing their own food. Then we will be completely controlled by the government. COMPLETELY. We've already lost the right to use whatever medicine we deem fit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot's_War
Quote:
Robert Nelson Chief patriot and doctor. Although an Anglophone, he was one of the leaders of the Patriot Party and was a member of the Assembly from 1827 to 1838. He did not participate in the first insurrection in 1837, but was nevertheless imprisoned as a suspect only to be later released due to a lack of evidence. He then fled to the United States to continue the fight. A member of the radical fringe group of the Patriot Party, he supported armed struggle and started groups of clandestine armies called the Fr�res chasseurs, many of which were located on the south shore of Montreal. In February 1838, he proclaimed himself president of the republic of Lower Canada, and announced the abolishment of the seigneurial system. He led the second insurrection in November 1838, but volunteers in Lacolle and Odeltown quickly quashed his invasion launched from the United States. He then sought refuge in Vermont, where he practiced medicine. He never returned to Canada, despite an amnesty, which he received in 1845. Robert Nelson represented the radical tendency of the patriot movement that wanted social and economic revolution. Inspired by the American Revolution and the revolutionary movements that were taking place at the same time in Europe, he called for, among other things, the abolishment of the seigneurial system, the separation of Church and State, the status of republic for Lower Canada, and equality among Native people, Anglophones and Francophones.

Huh? Where in the bill does it state that? I've read it and it sure doesn't seem that way to me.

I'll have to post back later about SB 510. While the bill may not directly prohibit the growing of food by individuals, it could impose such high fees and cumbersome record keeping requirements as to make it unfeasible.
Marijuana is used as a pain reliever and nausea reliever by many people; it is a medicine. Now it is illegal, so we don't have the "legal" right to use it or any other illegal drugs we may deem as medicines.

Ah, I see your point about medicine. This is true, but it is slowly changing for the better.
