country that it is absolutely legal for law enforcement and non law enforcement (George Zimmerman) to kill unarmed young black men. it is beyond sick that the country that makes the claim to be the greatest nation on the planet allows this type of thing to happen on a daily basis and people absolutely sign off on this bullshit. this country is beyond hope. it really says something about the "greatest nation on the planet" when its citizens have to worry about what will happen to their husbands, sons, nephews, friends because they left the house while being black. they get stalked for being black. they get harassed for being black. they get disrespected for being black. they get shot for being black. they have the very air they breathe choked out of them for being black. there is no positive future for amerikkka. the wrong people are the decision makers and they keep getting elected or reelected. shitty procedures are allowed to be continued even though they are shitty. for me, its over and done. the powers that be in this rat hole country have given me absolutely no reason to have any trust here whatsoever. amerikka is not beautiful and it never has been. it is an ugly, filthy, disgusting cesspool. I am supposed to be resting and recovering from illness and surgeries. it's really hard to do either of those things in this country. I may not post again for awhile. I just really needed to vent.

It's people calling themselves Christians while they vote to starve children, veterans and elderly and make sure they can't get affordable healthcare. It's people who obtain wild success with a lot of help but burn the ladder to keep folks from following. It's people who want to control every facet of a woman's life, including if and when she can work. It's people who have so rigged the system that 40 people have more money than 40 million. It's people who think we should impose our will and military killing in other countries, and the same people who have NO problem with racist cops gunning down black men in cold blood in broad daylight on videotape.
Some might call that the greatest country, I just call it fucked!
