Putting aside your snarky comments, pyro, if you have a point to make then present it with your own words or are you too lame to do so and must rely upon links to other articles to support yourself? Presenting a list of links and expecting people to gratefully read them to understand your pov is either extreme arrogance or a way of hiding in the forest. In either case it is counter-productive because no-one but you think you are so fucking important that they should read everything you throw up against the wall. So, I am calling bullshit on you, pyro. Use your own damn words if you have the intelligence and ability to articulate and communicate your ideas. If not, go scribble with your crayons.
So if I do not show my references I am a liar, or making something up.
If I do show my references I am hiding behind them. I have made points previous.
Have you been so spoiled in your life that you expect people to hand you answers on a silver platter? Have you even read/viewed these links? They are not from some Conspiracy Website (sorry PA); they are facts.
The Government and its people are in DEBT. http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
Consumer Societies are buying things from walmart and chucking it in the landfill because the quality is low but 'cheap'.
We emit 5,752,289 tons of CO2 contributing 20.2 percent of the world Carbon Dioxide.

Failing Banks with some serious Management Flaws have been rewarded with money that we do not have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailout
I have to bicycle (because I cannot afford the luxury of a car) 34 miles just to see if I am employed tomorrow.

There are 3,385,400 in the military. That number is including paramilitary and reserve forces.Let us look at that again...

You know what insanity is? I am sure you have heard this quote before:

Doing the Same thing over and over again expecting different results.
If you think my comments were 'snarky' you really do not know me.
The Big Point?
It is time for some major change. Call them crazy militants. Call them whatever you want. America is sick. Thus, it's people are sick. We need a cure and the Government is a slow moving beast.
I already scribbled with my crayons today.
[:D] There you see! That wasn't so difficult now, was it? Hoped you could do it. So, you listed all your laments and supplied supporting data. Great.
But, it is your synthesis I do not agree with.
America is not sick. We have been in worse times ... war, economic depression, floods and droughts. The nation and the people recovered. They will again, Jeremiah. It is cyclic.
Yes, the Government is a slow moving beast. It represents a democratic republic with many competing interests. Would you prefer a dictitorial oligarchy? Mussolini made the trains run on time but he was a Dictator. Would you swap messy democracy for efficient dictatorship?
Amusing that these "crazy militants" want major change from slow moving govt whilst carrying the flag for less intrusive government. Which is it? The contradiction is mind boggling.
