Make no mistake, America is my home, and I really do love it, but when it's the duty of every american to question their government and few do a fucking thing, I just get really bummed out and angry.
Anyone know a person who's renounced their citizenship? Because every fucking day that goes by makes me want to ditch the whole fucking thing and never look back.

I wonder how old you are. I wonder how often you read news papers...watch the news via TV...and more importantly how often you watch the House and the Senate via C-Span as they debate proposed bills. I wonder how many times you have voted in city...county...state and federal elections. I wonder how often you have expressed your concerns to your Congressman and/or your Senators and/or the White House...via phone...fax...email...snailmail. I wonder what interest you have taken in your government...other than to bitch.
I have listened to the bitching of people about government my entire life (I am in my late forties) and the "doom and gloom" lectures during all of the Administrations in my lifetime and all of the Congresses in my life time. Many...if not most...of the people I have known in my life have not ever voted in any election...city...county...state...and federal. Many...if not most...have ever contacted their Congressman or Senators...or the White House about any concern. Bottom line is the extent of many...if not most...peoples involvement is...bitching.
