Puke



so, rumor is that 'congressmen' want to put reagan's face on the dime. republican congressmen that is. it would be a republican wet dream to replace FDR with ole ronnie.

sometimes in my rare moments of clarity (i try to avoid having them too often in order to preserve my sanity), the realization strikes me full force that this country elected a second rate actor for two terms as president. it surprises me sometimes to also realize that he was far more moderate than the president we have now.

every day i ponder how i could manage to get out of this country. a rising sense of panic accompanies these thoughts because i realize that i have few of the necessary resources and contacts to leave. i've accepted that america is what it is. i just don't want to be a part of it anymore.

i want to live somewhere where people don't give a shit whether their country is 'number one' or not. i want to live in a country that doesn't fret continually over the 'downtrodden and abused' wealthy. i want to live in a country that understands that freedom will frequently mean leaving people you don't like alone. i want to live in a country that isn't obsessed with religion. and finally, i want to live in a country where people don't trample others in pursuit of a cheap, crappy DVD player from walmart.
