Why Does Everything Suck? |

Posted by Mitch45 on Sun Apr 3 03:59:53 2011 Open a paper and everything is so damn lousy. Japan, once thought to be the most technologically advanced nation on the globe, can't stop a nuclear disaster that threatens all of the Far East and perhaps more. Who knows what the future ramifications are for this event.The US government has devolved into nonstop bickering, namecalling and political claptrappery. Nothing gets done anymore. Name calling and smearing has taken the place of governance. Posturing and greed is the name of the game. Nobody lets anyone govern. Clinton got hounded by the Republicans almost from day one. Bush was first criticized as having stolen the 2000 election and then pounded as incompetent. Obama has been accused of trying to destroy America practically from Day One. The Republicans and Democrats both become obstructionist as soon as they either gain power or are out of power. Not all Muslims want to kill us but surely Al Qaeda and its ilk have many, many sympathsizers who are just keeping silent. If just 10% of the global Muslim population are either terrorists or sympathizers, that still leaves 100 million people who would either gladly kill us or look the other way and remain silent if they did. All you hear about are coming crises - the oil crisis, the food price crisis, the terrorist crisis, global warming, racism, thuggery, bigotry. And so on. Humanity as a race has accomplished so much in science and technology but it seems we are backsliding into barbarity. I had hoped for better in the 21st century. |
