(for the most part) the rest of the western world (in philosophy) is QUITE a bit more politically savvy then us americans ..

i'm not sure they hate AMERICA.. i think they just don't like bush & pals (and policies..). i know it's not completely his fault, but letting companies essentially run wild spells doom for normal (lower, and middle class) people. companies have a profit motive, and no one should ever forget that the leaders of said companies would sell their souls to run profits like the gas companies have been lately.
i assume you understand i'm trying to say that they DID sell their souls, and that's one of the primary causes of why we're in such a mess right now.
