Well God bless f**king America. The country that comprises 5% of the worlds population and consumes 25% of the world's resources. The country that brought you Vietnam, McDonalds, The Gulf War, Genetically modified foods and all the other world beating disasters.

You talk of opportunity in your country - oppotunity to contribute to a machine that systematically shifts wealth from the third world into the arms of the fat American shareholder - you too can have that dream car, that eco-nightmare. Tell me, does that opportunity apply to the black people of Harelm and LA SC - I think they'd probably have something to say about American justice and opportunity.

You really have swallowed the whole corporate/clinton propaganda package. It's time you got educated:
