The crap this country did and does in its manic-paranoic and profit motivated obsession with dick-waving and empire building will incite disgust and cynicism about government for generations.

I have known people my own age who actually think that the Iranians do not like us because we are 'Christian' and they are 'Muslim'. They literally did not know about this 'Allied' led coup. My response to that is just who are you electing when you have no idea what they stand for and what they are doing in our name? Believe me, the disgust and cynicism that will permeate for generations will be about more than our government.
