    We are a privileged country. One that many do not realize. The more we get, the more we want. People in other countries may have it "bad" in comparison to "our" standards of living, but at the same time, they don't miss what they don't have. I love my country (USA),but I don't think we realize the cushion we have made for ourselves in comparison in other countries. Whatever happened to the famous saying, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. - John F. Kennedy". I think we forgot!

    No way! we are struggling to just pay our heat bills and to have food and clothing. There are alot of homeless people that can't speak for themselves all over America right now. Alot of them are children. Only the elite talk that nonsense to other people. There are Neo-con's that have been trying to police America to have their own way, and America isn't a police society, it's like having Hitlers SS. These are the People acting as if they were better than everyone else, it's not everybody, but just a shallow few making alot of noise to protect their profits. Most of America doesn't side up with them.

    Sometimes, it seems like the Eurpoean countries are more well off than us, but we're all high, mighty, and powerful because of our military might. Sad illusion. I look up to other countries like Sweden and Canada, that put citizens first.

    Come with a real question, rather than one that puts us on the spot like that. That is like asking David Beckham "so, ya gotta lotta money, huh"? Do you feel privileged?

    Jeez . . .
