it’s been 235 years since the inception of this nation, and while it definitely stirred up feelings of reverence for this country… i can’t help but feel damn ashamed! the hypocrisy of this country sort of shocks me. a land that’s supposed to embody justice, equality, and freedom is well…not representative of those qualities at all… and i don’t want to get into the nitty gritty arguments of politics/capitol hill. but honestly….i feel that our government’s values are nestled so cozily in all the wrong places. i mean, perhaps i was a little too naiive in believing the unyielding patriotism that our founding father’s had for the new world. or maybe the star spangled banner and the pledge of allegiance really had me believe that our country was such a humanitarian, and had really great morals. but who are we kidding? does the government really have the best interest of its people? does congress really rally for equality? justice? freedom?

what really is the purpose in these magnificent fireworks and moving anthems. why should we have a day off on july fourth and celebrate the reputed “freedom” that our founding fathers bestowed upon us if we don’t practice any of these ideals 235 years later? are natural resources really so crucial as to start a damn war and spend trillions of tax dollars to kill thousands of innocent people?

greed is bad. bad bad bad BAD and it will be the destruction of mankind! i feel like a damn preacher and.. i’m pretty greedy too but… we should really check ourselves and examine our actions… we are not what we say we are. i am such an idealist. but a hopeless one…. cause i too am a pretender of my own ideals (if that makes any sense)

so.. i guess… another.. circular post cause there’s no remedy to this problem since mankind will always be greedy… just rambling again.
