The American Dream has always consisted of the ideal that the common people of this country were able to participate in the government and to have their voices heard. Unlike the monarchies of Europe or the totalitarian states of communism and fascism the democracy that has been employed in America allows for all peoples to choose who is to run the country. Foreigners flock to America because in this nation people are able to choose their leader instead of being forced to follow the rules of a leader who does not represent the people. This system has also created leaders who are forced to listen to his people because if he doesn?t the people have the power to remove and elect a new ruler. The democracy in America is one of the greatest reasons that, when concerning America, foreigners do not want to remain foreigners and become members of a country that allows political power to all those who want it.
But the process that has been installed the eliminate corruption in our society has been corrupted. Many times voting has been restricted few of the masses. In the very birth of our nation only men with land were able to vote. It wasn?t until Andrew Jackson when the common man started to vote. Yet still only the white men were able to vote. It wasn?t until the 20th century that black men were allowed to vote after being subject to unfair tests that would keep the black populist out of the voting booths and out of power. Then it took an even longer time for the women?s right to vote. The ideals behind the American Dream, in which all where able to participate in voting was not true until the very late 20th century.
The one consecutive truth of the American Dream is that all people eventually get accepted into our nation. The Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, African, German, Middle Eastern, and all other peoples managed to eventually, through a long struggle, get accepted as an American. Today when the question is asked where are you ancestors an amalgamation of countries is stated by many individuals. Americans consist of every nation of the world and thus something about the American Dream is a truth. People from everywhere come to America in search of something and get satisfied with what they find. The American Dream though corrupted a lot, is still not a hoax and never will be as America entertains the most diversity, whether or not it accepts the diversity, than any other nation that exists today or has every existed.
What should be the drug policy of US? Currently, the government is being retarded on the issue. Billions are spent each year to stop drugs from flowing into the US, but it's still incredibly easy to get pretty much drug one would desire. In the land of the free, is it ok to restrict some drugs, but not others? Is alcohol better than say marijuana? Are shrooms worse than a cigarettes? Some drugs I can barely tell the difference, like caffeine and speed, they both have the same effect. The whole issue is idiocy at work. Not only could we use the money saved on useful purposes, the incoming drugs could be taxed. There are examples of countries with realistic drug policies, but US politicians are too dumb to look else where for ideas.
In my eyes, the flag is nothing. It's about the same as burning a pair of pants... cause hell, they're pretty similar, they both cover up the what really matters.
BTW, I'm back to my old ways again- by which I mean slacking, and/or .... uh .... slacking........ so I guess you'll see a few posts if I'm not slacking (HAHAHAHAHA THAT NEVER HAPPENS), so expect to see more of my rants in the somewhat near/far future.........
Ya know who burns more American flags than any other group on the face of the planet? The United States government. After all, burning is the accepted way to dispose of an old flag... Well done, Jesse and Andrew.
I personally support flag burning because a flag is just a symbol and symbolism is not to be taken seriously for if we all become too centered around symbolism that we will punish someone for not respecting a mere symbol then we are but pure evil. Do not take symbolism seriously, do not stand for a flag or the national anthem, it is just us allowing our selves to be brainwashed into following what the government tells us. Do the United States a favor and burn a flag. I would have to say for once I agree with nearly everything Andrew has had to say, and if you have not yet read his article I recommend you do as such.
The main coherent opposition to flag burning lies in the fact that the flag is sacred. The opposition entertains the belief that an American flag is more important than fixing a corrupt government. Americans take more offense to a flag being burned than by q government that brutalizes its citizens, or a government that supports a biased justice system, or a government that chooses to invade other countries, slaughter innocents, and internally create a system of government in the country that looks favorably to the United States, but yet is more corrupt then the previous government. And all those things have happened in our United States. The newspapers are consistently depicting events in which a police officer beats a man or women for being black. They also depict men or women being freed from jail after 20 years after they were determined to be innocent of any crime. And look to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and far worse Dresden for the slaughtering of innocents; and South Vietnam and Afghanistan for creating and supporting the corrupt government. But yet Americans choose to ignore the facts and instead choose to support their government and agree with its policies by not paying attention to flag burners and the protestors. Why is the flag sacred? Is it because it symbolizes a country that has slaughtered millions of innocents, or is it sacred because it symbolizes a country who prided itself on its racial tolerance when it practiced the worst slavery known in common history? These are the things that the American flag represents. It is the fixation that Americans have with their country and the infallibility of their country that precipitates the idea of the flag being sacred. The ultimate question becomes then, which is more important, a pure and just democracy or the American flag?
First off, it seems rather depressing to me that someone would compare a twenty mile-per-hour expansion of driving speed to the taking of someone's life. Second, attempted murder is a crime because you pre-meditated the crime and were intervened upon in your attempt to kill said individual. Also, if someone speeds a little, who cares? If someone murders someone, it ends one persons life and damages the lives of many others. Do you believe it to be a crime to bring a gun to school with every intention of murdering someone, however, someone intervened at the last second, saving the life of your target? I, for one, do.
I don't exactly understand what you were trying to say but what I got is that is you kill someone well driving slower than the speed limit is legal? Well first if you hit someone it is always the drivers fault (most of the time) because the pedestrians have, unfourentantly the right of way. If someone were to jump out at you from a bush then the driver would have the right of way, so thus the crime would be careless driving and manslaughter. But yet I probabally didn't answer your question because I didn't understand it so Long live Pope Alexander the IV!
I just have a bug in my butt about this, say your driving down the road in a geo and the speed limit is 40 and you want to go 60 but you just cant get your crappy geo to go over 30 have you committed a crime? No, then how is unsuccessfully killing someone if you have not actually hurt them a crime?
