I do beleive that there are more people in this country in the poverty class then middle class and even less then the Upper class. So.....

"So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What are we so unhappy about?''
Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? "

That one I will give, at least I can listen to my music and get online for debates like this one everynight when I get home..... unless the electricity company here is having problems. Like 2 times a week. I believe hollywood and new york city are up all the time except for maybe 1 or twice a year.

"Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time, and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?"

But the trick is, how much will be bought? How much do people buy....especially when the standard of living is higher then what you are getting paid.

"I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough."

We have fast food, fast food, and some oh yeah and more fast food. You really have to be in a big city and have money to eat anything cuisine. Not that many of us can afford it with the depreciation of the dollar, rise in feul cost, rise in food cost, and wages not rising with them.

"How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?"

This is only if you are straight and Christian.

"They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.

But why are we there? As far as I know the evidence linkin Iraq to 9/11 is not sufficient. And they did not have weapons of mass destrution. He may have caused his own nation turmoil, which would be the people of that nations responsibility to return it to a just state, but he did ot have anything to do with 9/11. And most of the world agrees.

I have freinds all around the world and you know what, I am constanly told that they do not hate us, but they hate our president. Because he feels the need to medlle in the affairs of other nations. I am sorry but I can under stand the numbers on the Newsweek Poll. I am fed up with deciding wether to get more propant to keep my little sister warm at night, or by food to make sure she can eat.

Edited just to say that somebody should letme know what I need to do to make these quotes not just paste and copy with quotations.

And if this is you true view, Maybe you should have lived in my shoes the past 8 years..
