Damn, But I Hate This Country!

[bobd]

If I give any thought at all to the endless stream of bad news I'm simply overwhelmed with a bone deep, gut level, hatred of this country. You KNOW that the California recall circus is being done simply to distract the media and the lemming citizens from the real goings on: i.e., the enless war(s), the shitty economy, the poverty, the systemic inequality in both human and economic terms, etc., etc., etc. What's even more depressing is is that you know it will work too!

I always wondered how hatred could get to such a deep, visceral level to produce hellish events like the US Civil War, the centuries old ethnic bad-blood in the middle east, in the Balkans, Ireland, etc. Well, now I know. If someone told me I'd be in this place 5 years ago I'd have laughed in their face. What in god's name will become of us?
