What a country we live in

[BlueStater]

You indirectly kill 3000 innocent people, you're a terrorist on the run.

You indirectly kill nearly 4000 innocent people,...you're a two-term president on the verge of finishing his second term.

Again, what a country.

[Warpy]

1. You allow 18,000 people to die of medical neglect every year

and you're a huge fucking corporate hero.

[fenriswolf]

2. what a country we live in

where people will kill to make sure life in the womb is sacred and has all the rights of a human being. But as soon as it comes off the women is on her own and if she needs public support is a welfare queen.

4. And nevermind educating these children as they are good cannon fodder and slave labor pool.

[NOLALady]

3. You practice slave labor

via the rise of the prison industrial complex.

[lonestarnot]

5. A million is more likely a closer number.

[BlueStater]

7. You're right

I was only thinking about American soldiers. God knows how many innocent Iraqis have died in that mass murderer's war of lies.

6. What a country we live in...

When the "leader" condones torture by not uttering a word against it.

When religious freedom is trumped in favor of the views of one theocratic maniac.

When poverty becomes a way of life for far too many more.

When big business trumps big progress.

When the educational system is mocked by punishing teachers and students for the sake of test scores.

When criminal cronies are pardoned, and everything's swept under the rug.

When life is more valuable in a petrie dish than in a living, breathing body.


We have the power to change this, you know. It doesn't have to be this way!
