World politics have alot to do with the "how's and why's" we do the things we do. It's not like our government is so out of control that it's unbearable to live here and it's really not fair to judge a country by it's government. Take oil for example, we rely heavily on it to continue our normal way of life. What are we supposed to do, just say forget it? Even being as far behind the rest of the world as we are, we still will fight for freedom and our share of the pie -vs- giving in. Our problem as a country is that we are all so selfish, everything is about us. If we would come together as a country first, then reach out to other countries, things would be a lot better imo.
I've been saying all along that i have no pun with US citizens, but i always get that unpatriotic treatment when talking about US shady politics lol. Your gov is not out of control, its the complete opposite; They bring you the news, when and how they want it. IMO, the US gov. main job seems to be to figure out how much crap they can shuv through their democracy so they can please the zionists, arabs and asian investors. Here's the selfish part you speak about but it has nothing to do with the americans being selfish, americans are being exploited by their own gov. You must generate taxmoney, so they beef up defense budgets so big that an asian investor would be stupid to say no.
The only thing left to create revenue is to have a war so factories can produce 24/7(yeah they found Osama but only after they have deployed more bombs than in vietnam on his so called where-abouts...you'd think US commando's would provide a cheaper and even more effective means to find him). In the end, US citizens promote a war at the expense of their own healthcare system because a few americans and a few foreigners get richer...non of that taxmoney is coming back but you do get free fema camps! You want your country to get better, take out the industrial complex running your country first, re-evaluate your "democracy".
The oil thing, cars dont need to drive 4:1. Its part of the american dream, big oil hungry cars for peanuts and tank up for a few bucks. Its not about efficiency but about consuming, endless consuming for the price of your taxmoney. Perhaps an outdated state of mind as most of you differ but this has been generalised outside the US, same like the rediculous right to bare arms...
