Do you ever reread your statements before submitting them? You sound like a communist, or socialist most of the time. There is an appropriate sports analogy that describes your bravado. Why don't you spend a little time reading the document that Thomas Jefferson crafted and really try to understand his wisdom. I will not claim to be a student of historical world governments, but, as a human residing on the planet earth, I am proud to my core to be an American. Imagine what our world would look like today, had our founding fathers revolution been crushed. Shame on you.
You certainly are entitiled to your opinion about me however wrong you may be. In my opinion anyone who seriously equates someone who advocates a change from a monetary based economy to a resource based economy as a "communist or socialist" has a very lazy mind.

I can understand your unwavering devotion and American pride. I know it makes you feel good and righteous. I can understand your desire to label and pidgeonhole the things you don't agree with, putting them in tidy little polarized opposites to your own beliefs. But I have discovered the brainwashing elements of patriotism and nationalism and how they have held back humankind on this planet for generations. Can you tell me why you wouldn't have similar feelings of pride in your roll as an Earthling? In some ways I feel sorry for you and in some ways I feel sorry for humankind because there are so many people who are unable to think beyond their indoctrinations. You know, there will be a time on this planet when patriotism and nationalism will be looked upon as a barbaric and primative part of our past. I'm certain of that. It's a very probable prediction. It's time to evolve past this crap. There is nothing wrong with reaching for higher ground.
