Very much in line with this generalized wave of conservatism that's screwing up the whole world.
Please inform me of this general wave of conservatism that is sweeping the world. Canada just passed a gay marriage act. The US just gave $15 billion to countries in Africa today to fight AIDS, the American government itself has gotten bigger with the Homeland Security Acts, just read the damn newspapers and I'm sure you will be more than satisfied to find more "liberal" ideas. Hell, even try magazines too while you're at it.Here's a link, and another. Those should satisfy your liberal craving for now.
You just want to sit quitely in your corner, doing your stuff without being bothered, perfectly accomodated with the political situation as is. You'll regret your immobilism when you're mobilized to go fight and die in some strange land, a mere expendable soldier imposing the tyranny of the mighty multinational companies.
Gross generalizations are all I see. I would proudly serve my country if I was called upon, if I die, then I die, at least I died serving my country. But Patton once said, "No man ever won a war by dying for his country, he made the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country." Hopefully I would be able to let some Other poor, dumb bastard die for his country before I did.
What are these multinational companie you speak of, governments? How are we immobile? Just because our opinion differs from yours we are hermits in the desert that keep to ourselves and do nothing to change the course of government? This is the reason we have voting rights so we don't stay stagnant.
You too, are expendable.
