Beginning of the End

As this is my first post, i'm going to start with my general concerns about the once great USA. Our political system has degraded to a government of the richest one percent, for the richest one percent, and by the richest one percent. Our elections always have us choosing not the best candidate but simply the one that sucks the least. Lobbyists have infested Washington and are skewing the laws in favor of the richest americans. The Moral Majority (which is neither moral nor the majority) is forcing their bigotry into the laws of our country and taking away the most basic rights of non-WASPs.

Outside of the polital scene, our culture isn't any better. Our country has the highest obesity rate in the world, our choice of televison is either whodunnit's, lack-of-talent shows, or let's-see-who-can-eat-the-grossest-shit. The culture as a whole is devoid of any intellectual thought, and anyone that expresses intellectuality is branded as a hippie weirdo and as having no common sense.

I'm here to fight back against this trend. The USA was founded by intellectuals, who i believe wanted this to be a place of freedom loving, smart, involved citizens. Instead we are an uneducated and unmotivated people being led around by dumbest among us who just happen to be born into enough money to have influence. Those of us who are involved and educated are too few to have any influence on the masses.
