A place where greed and consumption have replaced generosity and compassion. A place where it's apparently OK for millions of people to be chronically ill, with little or no healthcare A place where old people must scramble for part time jobs to have food AND medicine A place where kids are tested but not taught a place where "my" rights trump "your" rights A place where a cacaphony of propaganda has replaced news A place where bigger is ALWAYS better A place where pride and bravado are "kissin' cousins" A place where ignorance IS bliss A place where poor people are "responsible" for their own poverty A place where rich people are idolized for their "hard work" A place where $4 jeans and $2 flip-flops are worth the offshore slave-labor required to produce them A place where an asphalt parking lot is more appreciated than the field it replaced A place where a "little bit" of arsenic and rocket fuel is ok in our water A place where you can look at the fish, but daren't eat them..(especially the warty, purple ones with 3 eyes)
America is a place where people who once cared about others, now care only about themselves
disclaimer.... broad generalities :).. but that's the aura we give off to the rest of the planet:)
