86. I lived most of my 57 years in Europe
and if you think things are better there, you are dreaming. A can of coke costs the equivelent of $5 in Paris, and even a cheap dinner out is $30 a person. Not much better in the rest of Europe.

The problem is our so called leaders, and the apathy of the general public. We need something more than continual pissing and moaning to change things. I hate to say this, but I think it might come to a time, in the not too distant future, that what is actually needed is a terrorist attack on the terrorists running our government.

If we got out of this damned war and quit giving Halliburton and other companies contracts without bids, and got rid of the 4 million illegal aliens (who's presence only provides cheap labor for the rich), we would actually have some money to improve out health care system and other things.
