That may be true, but the people living here can do little about it. Hell, we can’t even save online gaming when 80% of the people are in favor of it! But the truth is that whenever there’s a world disaster the American people are some of the most caring and generous anywhere.
Most Americans are so ignorant of the world outside their borders that they have no clue as to what’s actually going on. It’s not totally their fault, though. They’ve had years of inferior education… years of a pupeted news media… years of lie after lie from their government.
Most Americans just go to work, pay there taxes, and want to be left alone. And that’s exactly what Washington DC wants them to do! They are a product of American theology and fuel for the American economy.
That said, my original point was to make certain the rest of you out there who can see America from the outside remember what was said above. Never… never equate the genuine, generous, caring (and I admit ignorant) people of this country with the evil and corrupt men & women who sit at it’s helm.
