We live in a country full of lies and corruption, it's quite apparent. Between energy crisis, pollution & the environment, national insecurity, the economy and a host of other issues, the decisions from our leaders and policy makers have run completely amok.
Some might argue with me, that our economy is better than 8 years ago. With the latest bout of creative accounting and corporate fraud, including Fannie Mae, it's clearly not any better and might even be worse.
Just look at the way police departments spend valueable resources (officers, vehicles, equipment) these days.. giving out a multitude of speeding tickets and other bullshit tickets to generate revenue for the local government. I've been pulled over 2 times in the last 2 years between 11pm and 3am where I live, none of those times had I been drinking. The pretext? An "unsafe lane change" when the cop was tailgating me so close I couldn't see his headlamps, and not using my turn signal. Completely out of control, as a country we have lost focus on what is important and what moves us forward.
