Was successful. The dollar is plunging and has plunged fast due, mostly to the Government now in power. You cannot spend
$656.1 billion to date, which is over
half a Trillion dollars to satisfy U.S. Arms dealers (Cheney and his pals) without severely crippling an economy. As is now happening. Also, those last 2 sentences are putting words in my mouth, eh? We both know I'm not implying that. So why say it?

And you are absolutely right. Let me be clear on one thing. In the last 20 years, I've seen huge changes in the U.S. It used to be a great place to live. Minimal laws. Now it seems I live in a Nanny controlled Disneyland.
(Imagine that at one point one could make a fire, invite some friends and have a fun evening sitting on the beach drinking some beers ?!?) Now of course we all know, if you light a fire on the beach,
sand burns (?!?). Hence the absolute need to outlaw Fires on beaches. (Ca. Law.) Safety issue, right ?!?
Anyway. Due to incredible changes in Government, changes in Manipulating the U.S. public by Corpo-ruin-nations run amok, changes in the Takeover by a Chemical run infrastructure in Foods, Medicine, Drinking water, etc. things are Very different then 20 years ago.

I'm curious to know why you live in the US if you think its full of idiots, doesn't have one single thing that you like about it over Germany and is such a horrible place? As a side note I love Germany too; great country with many things and systems I prefer over the US. |
Why do I live here? The answer is I am planning on a move for the reasons listed above. Now, where is another question in itself.
Any suggestions ?
I'll end with this is a good thread. It is waking people up to how things used to be, and where they are now in the U.S.
