I think naturally that American democracy is dead and/or dying. Besides, how can such a divided racist/capitalist imperialist society be truly democratic anyway?

I wouldn't call the US racist or imperialist. It was racist like thirty years ago. Now there is something called: politically correct. And the US certainly is not imperialist.

Wake up Fez... why do you think the US hasn't bombed the crap out of Iraq? Because the big corporations make more money buying MidEast oil and selling it to America than they would on energy efficient vehicles. Car companies market SUV's and gullible America buys them, continuing the cycle of oil-violence.

The US is more imperialistic than any other country in history.

Cheers, sava. You're not so bad, for a yank!

Fez, its time you accepted that the US is probably the most hated country in the world, and with good reason. The US is selfish, self centred, greedy and imperialist. These are NOT qualities I would attribute to a democratic society.

Yeah, I've only lived in the US my whole life, gone through public education in Chicago, Naperville (rich republican suburb), and Springfield (working class town). But I'm sure some 17 year old brat from Spain who believes in "reaganomics" knows more about my own country than me.... SUUUURRREEEEEE

The New Right seems dead in the water over here - it seems most citizens under 30 or 40 are pro-liberal society - racism and homophobia seem to be things the majority of the public don't want to relate to.

Now we just have to kill off the New Right in the US... (unfortunately the religious right seems waaaay to strong at the moment).

I'd like to let the record show that that's only true in the deep south, i.e. the confederate states.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the world would have been better off if we listened to the radical republicans.

I was giving you facts, boy. You don't want to know them because they contradict what you want to believe. Furthermore, I have refrained from insulting for well over a year, even though I've been sorely tempted.
