Americans are Jerks!

Helping Zsusanna out with her History homework.

I know we are a horrible people, but Americans are absolutely horrible. Horrendous.

Our pasts (as a country) are just...wow...

This is nothing new, but everytime I do some research, or help one of my kids do research....I get so angry at the things "we" as a collective "people" or Country have done, are doing, and will do in the future, because "we" are better than anyone else in the world. Do "we" forget that "we" did not originate from here? And if you did originate from here, you got screwed.

It's not the American dream to work for that white picket fence. It's the American dream to HAVE that white picket fence, and have someone else pay for it and put it up.

Are there people out there who really DO want to earn their fence? Yes, but look thru our history books. Even though the people who write history books write only what they want us to know-peice it together. Who put up your grandparents fence? Who put up your great grandparents fence? Maybe it was your ancestors who dug the fence post holes, I don't know; but sometimes it just sickens me that "We the people" really means "Me me me and maybe you" sometimes.

On who's back are we riding?

Yes, someone will probably get mad at me...oooo, I'm scared...shaking in my bare feet. But I know that doesn't matter to you...nor will it. That's an other problem. We are allowed to have our opinions, but no one wants to hear it unless it's their opinion too.

How sad my children are more "grown up" than a lot of adults I know and know of.
