Thought I'd stop by and visit. I also wanted to say how much I love that song. It pretty much sums up how I feel about most of the people that live in the U.S., which is pretty darn sad.
I hope you don't mind, I added you to my friends list.
I think it's more true for older Americans rather than the younger ones. Younger americans seem to be a bit more thoughtful about what they accept from the media than older ones... and of course there's definitely the thing of I'm democrat/conservative/liberal/labour/republican/etc (covering all the areas of politics) - "they do my political thinking for me" attitude which unfortunately is rife not only in America but throughout the world.
I'm not an anarchist, but I do think it's the right of a democratic society to be allowed to disagree with your government in ways that don't require bombing them to make a point. That's what the law and the constitution is supposed to give us.
And I do think that the government should represent not just the people who agree with them - but the nation as a whole. Not just the people with the largest bank balances.
