Why America keeps making the same mistakes ?

I said before in this forum that I was part of the Vietnam war that I was only a legal resident, that U.S. citinzenship was given only after being a U.S. legal resident for 5 years. No long ago president George W. Bush did the right thing: A legal alien becomes a U.S. citizen immediately after joining and staying the full agreeable term in the Armed Forces of the U.S.

America doesn’t learn of her past mistakes, politicians have a spell on the citizens of one of the most wonderful countries on the world. Politicians use America’s people lives to make them work hard, pay a lot of taxes , gas prices and food highly expensive, dont provide a good national medical system for all Americans, allow illegal immigrants to take away all kind of jobs from those that are legal. Good education is only available to people with good sports abilities, high grades or serve in the military (education bonus) and of course the wealthy.

Why Americans don’t react to such an abuse ? Propaganda!!!.Americans believe that is necessary to keep democracy alive by doing all the mentioned things. I posted an essay: The United States of America: Why do they hate us so much?

I expected a reaction on how the government of U.S.A. is not what it seems. Propaganda spread thru the highly controled news media is doing the job of duping American’s minds, just like the did it in Vietnam, the 1973 oil crisis, and today’s oil crisis. Corrupted politicians use everything available to get their way and keep the majority of the American people serving, no different than slaves, their selfish purposes.

Terrorism is the new “strategy” to send Americans to die for their “country” or for the oil companies ? They say that we reached over 2500 deaths that died serving America, without counting the many thousands mangled up and handicapped for life. Some of you have compared those “low” numbers with the thousands that died unnecessarily in the Vietnam war.

Many of you said: “I’m happy living here”, of course you haven’t put your life in the line like these 2 American soldiers and so many others: news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060621/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

Articles like the one above are common, everyday news. I recommend you to watch the documentary film: Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore. I don’t agree with Michael in some issues and sarcasm but I admire his audacity.

Mistakes are repeated as a form of habit or tradition, which is dogmatically recycled from parent to child.

Dogma is not words that cannot be questioned, so much as it is genetic drives that cannot be denied. Life is dogma.

Personally, I think the problem with America is that none of it’s citizens really care what’s going on in the world around them. They want everything done for them. They want to live in their own little world and never have to deal/be aware of any of the world’s problems. This is why we keep electing the same old idiots time and time again. Why is it that no one has questioned the fact that every four years we only have two choices to pick from for president? Because no one has had the guts to question it. For god’s sake most well developed European countries have more than two political parties! I think America needs a revolution. I’m sick of they way our country is being run. How can the president get away with using his own personal religion as part of his tactics. What the fuck is that? I thought religion was supposed to play no role in government whatsoever. America’s citizens need to become more aware of what the fuck is going on and how we are continually losing our god damn rights (ie phone tapping, Patriot Act). It’ll only get worse unless we do something about it.
