Cheering for Egypt as the US taps our phones, internet and bank records

Egypt's rallying masses calling for democracy reminds us the wish for freedom, the desire to be treated as individual humans with individual will-continues to drive our collective souls.
The consistent will to withstand violence, threats, fears connects us to that innate yearning -no-necessity for a collective dream of how we should live.
Isn't it ironic to watch the middle east stand tall, collectively fight and protest for freedom as we, the United States remove the right to freedoms, little by little, with not a peep.
Millions are unemployed, teachers and government employees are now being hunted down in states as if they are demons, corporations continue to make millions and millions in profits, Wall Street is making BILLIONS, and those pesky bonuses have returned, and our jobs are outsourced to third world countries where corporations can exploit the populations.
States are seeking ways to cut away the most vulnerable of  our people as funding dries up.
The attitude of the American people?
Let them die.
If they can't make it on their own-tough.

Citizens still have the impression welfare is a fat cat program which allows lazy, self indulgent citizens to sit home eating steak and drive SUV's.

The majority of our citizens. sadly and frighteningly are the Sarah Palin's. Unlearned, ignorant willing  to  follow whatever headline feeds their anger and the mantra, each time the anger overflows is punish, punish, punish.

We are a  nation who kills more people than any other, we love killing, guns are toys, We believe nothing is illegal unless you are caught, forgiveness is as cheap as a stick on tattoo.

The media? I am not sure whether ignorant and stupid people are hired or this trash is scripted. People believe what they want to believe, facts are extraneous.

I wonder what would have happened  if Martin Luther King were to give his speech today? We are a country believing every person of color is a threat yet the whites in this nation are clearly the minority.

When our government becomes the rainbow representing our nation, perhaps the corruption, arrogance, greed and disregard for our citizens will be replaced with those who have an understanding of true democracy and not  the elitist corporacracy we currently live by..
