Ive lived in a few different places and traveled a lot. But once you travel you find out how similar the world is. You will find things that you never knew you loved about where you came from as well. And you will find things you love about the places you travel to. If you haven't lived outside of Texas, also try living in some other parts of the states. Youll be surprised how different things are. I have a coworker who came from Austin last year and she fell in love with San Francisco, even though she is pretty Conservative. |
Interesting considering Austin is usually more liberal than the rest of the state of Texas. I was born and raised for 18 years near Columbus, Ohio so I have no affinity towards Texas. I merely followed some of my family down here and went to college at Texas Tech (my parents moved to Austin in 2000). You are right being away from the states (and especially in a poorer country) shows you how much you take for granted. My main point of this thread was that USA isn't perfect and there are a lot of things that need to be done. However, I am afraid to admit that USA has shit, poor leadership. Look at the so called politicians (I mean pawns of corporations). There are very few if any politicians in USA that has enough balls to take on the problems and if there is one (Gary Johnson or Ron Paul they are quickly swept to the side). We are leaderless. We are pretty much a chicken running around with its' head cut off. There are plenty of things right in USA and just as many things wrong. Pretty obvious what I am saying considering most people agree that the nation is headed in the wrong direction, yet we do nothing to change course. I want to change course but everyone just keeps voting for democrats and republicans.

Is what I think we need to do before it is too late. Otherwise we will be fascist and at this point I wouldn't mind being fascist over this so called democracy.
