: Hasn't it ever occurred to you that you may have been raised in a media saturated environment that extols the values of those who live off the sweat, blood and toil of others? Hasn't it ever occurred to you that in a democratic society that there is actually more propaganda than in any of the pseudo-socialist (actually state capitalist) societies? : You may be patriotic but do you really understand the amount of

We live in the here and now, and we gotta move on! The USA may not be perfect, but it's better than any other place on the planet, and it's certainly a lot better than whatever continent you moved to, as you've told me in the "Capitalism" room. I love this country and I'm staying put!!!

And Cara, don't feel bad! I'm not a great speller either. My "friend" Ted pointed that out to me in the "McDonald's" room. (I have no excuse for that! I'm a thirtysomething with an unreliable memory.)
And finally, to the author of the post I'm answering, isn't "Over The
Hills And Faraway" the title of an old Led Zeppelin song?
