you hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head right there.
what frightens me even moreso is that the majority of people my age just dont care.
im scared to think about what our future will be like for americans.
most of my generation is undereducated, highschool dropouts (me included, i decided to take a hard road) unaware of anything that is going on in this country or with foriegn relations etc.
which gives the system the perfect oppurtunity to rape us.
i will say this, i come from one of those lower class families that cant even afford health insurance. its infuriating.
my mom has a drug problem and cant even get into a government funded rehab because her income is "too high"
so they might as well say youre poor, not poor enough, i guess youre fucked.
and my fear is that things like that will only get worse as time goes by.
think about the progression of corruption from the 1950's until now. it was a swift sociological downfall, more crime rates, more drugs, etc.
i constantly fear that we're hurling ourselves towards destruction. and our governemnt is so concerned over keeping drugs off the street that they miss so many rapists and cerial killers and pedofiles its not even funny. we are not focused on the real issues and that my friend is scary.
and thats only one little sliver out of a big pie of things that are not right and that are more than likely detrimental to this country's future.
our elders are not preparing our youth to run this country in the future.
and i'd love to do something about it but im at a total loss. no one else i know even cares enough.
