Our culture portrays violence as glamorous. It teaches us that violence is the way to resolve conflicts. Where else did the children of my youth learn to say "I will kill you" after all? Today, that message is more prevalent than ever. Video games, TV and movies make sure of that. The emotional shock of violence, of seeing blood and guts, sells. A culture saturated with media violence compels the producers to raise the level of the violence. Over time, public insensitivity to violence and death requires that they be exposed to more of each to achieve the same effect. How wonderful, after all, was the government produced media program called "Shock and Awe"? It played for months. How glorious was the regime's war of choice on Iraq with its orchestrator, the "commander-in-chief", smirking "Bring it on!'

Andy, you gotta find yourself a real fine Socialist country to move to. You will pretty much all be equal ( except for those that run the country) and you will pretty much all be equally miserable.
If your thing is jealousy over material things, work hard and get a better job. Then, when you are in charge, you will change you mind about being Commie/ Socialist.
What is rich to you? Are you exploited? Do you get unemployment, health insurance ( emergency medical) voting rights,freedom of speach.? Sounds like your really exploited. Got a computer? Starving to death?

Who do you describe as rich? The people who employ you?
