I feel very disillusioned about my country

im not making excuses for any of history s**t, mind this. i have no f*****g reason to do that, living where i do. i am just pointing out, that morale is... a peculiar thing. it changes with time, and what we consider immoral and atrocious, was pretty norm some hundreds years ago. which means, that society is moving in a right direction overall... and ya, hypocricy of usa recent policies do ring a lot of bells. and then i am again pulling up russia as an example. modern this time. we are democracy by law, but a f*****g monarchy in fact. power is usurped, elections are forged. as if 2 revolutions in 70 years wasnt 2 too many...

as to compassion and empathy, maybe its not apparent, but im trying to deal those out here ^^

sorry, i honestly dont follow everything, that happens in usa ^^ but ya clinton sounded like a mess to me. same as why putin had such an easy time getting control in the first place...

The best thing one can do is to try not to be like the USA. Be above it. And seek to help yourself and your family under the system. The USA as a whole might be this and that----but, maybe, your local Congress person or Assembly person, or whoever, might not be. They might be decent people because they want to be decent people. It's easier to do decent things because there's fewer people to do the decent things for.

That's why many people do things on the "grass roots" level, and don't rely on the federal/state governments. Doing things on the "grass roots" level could yield more tangible results than trying to change things on the "federal/state" level.

i kinda like the public image Canada as a state is making for itself. then again, they only recently easened up their immigration laws, that were (and still are, though on a lesser scale), discriminative towards disabled ppl. so no paradise ^^ and all we can do, is make whatever little moves we can to make things just a little bit better. every drop in a sea...

well if u dont want to live in a country, that is considered world's bully, canada seems to be the choice ^^
(if ofc u qualify. i know i dont xd)

I could attempt to sneak into the country illegally, but the irony of that would be too much for me.

still beats being stuck in many other countries ^^

yes, there are many places worse than urs, and then than mine. if u take in all the suffering, that happens across the world, u will lose ur mind. nobody can manage that. and also wont benefit those people. doing something, anything, to help those u contact with, according to ur resources, in a way that wouldnt put too much strain on urself, is just as much as a person can do. every drop in the sea...

i know that, twiz)))
(what a smug b***h she is!) xD
