Many people still support Nixon.

People are gullible. Instead of becoming educated, they've become indoctrinated.

Believe me, they don't want to know, and refuse to believe, how dirty American hands are in the affairs of the world. Most Americans want to believe that we are morally upright, pure and just, as we go about saving the world.

Who wants to look in the mirror and see sh*t on their face? That's about what it takes to face the truth about America. It took me a while to come around, and believe me, the loss of faith in what this country represents isn't easy to deal with.

As the saying goes: Governments exist to serve corporations, and the people exist to serve the government.

Once people "get that," the rest falls into place. They just can't believe that their existence means nothing to those in power. They just don't "get it." This is why bush doesn't attend funerals of murdered soldiers. (Yes, murdered.) He doesn't give a damn. We should call him "Rhett Bush."
