THE COUNTRY IS BROKEN

from Greg Wilson

What has finally occurred to me as one of the main differences between me and someone who writes: 'saving our beloved country and keep our freedom', is, that I believe/recognize our country is broken.  I do not want to save our country in its present form (corruption, war-based economy, destruction of the earth, and oppression of workers, women, LGBT, and anyone outside the successful investor class). Due to corporate personhood, the bill of rights protects the corporate person with the most money. I am living in another complete story------ our country is broken and our economic system is shutting down earth's life-support system. I guess the other story is, don't say these things; defend our country. Any other economic system is socialism. To speak of sustainability and earth rights somehow makes me an enemy, and not someone who is simply struggling to make this country and this land a better place for the people who live here.
