No real change happens overnight (except Bolshevik takeovers), in fact it take years.
Is The United States your country or does it belong to someone else?
Lincoln called the US "the world's last, best hope".
I agree.
I'm sorry you see things differently.
Best of luck in your travels.
I hope you find somewhere that will feel like home.
Please tell me what I(we) can do...
I've been ridiculed to holy hell... And it's not because I sound crazy... for the most part I present facts to people,
not theories.

I agree, if the general political aware Australian didnt have confirmation on this, they sure did after reading the cables... Australians in general were NOT happy JANs one bit! (didnt matter if they were Labor or Liberal voters, did you see the reaction/commentary in the newspapers?)
Im still not 100% sure what it was about Kevin Rudd (even though Im not a Rudd fan) that annoyed the US State Department so? (they wanted him out nearly 9 months before it actually happened)
However in saying that, we can definitely see why they (US) were keen on Julia - ( Did you catch 4 Corners program on "Who is the real Julia gillard" a few weeks back?)
Australians in general are not keen on American influences here (corporate and government)

As someone who knows both places very well, I'd say you'd be pretty wrong about that.

LOL thats the best you can say about someone having pride in their country? I dont see you flying to some third world country and living there. It may not be what it was intended to be but instead of just saying stupid # why not try and do something about it. Bitching with no actions is just being a bitch.
