Of course not. This is the reason why GMT should be kept as small as possible.
GMT should not plan my retirement, it should not take care of my health. These are things for the individual to do.

No morality in US government.
1) children taken from families(in some case for the right reason) but have no decent place to put or provide for them.
2) uneducated adults can't get jobs so they live in the streets.
3) uneducated people, are so because government schools hasn't been morally obligated to spend time and money on their education.
4) without In God We Trust, there's no morality.
5) If private orginizations are feeding the hungry, putting clothes on their backs, paying for their education and providing for their medical needs, what exactly is the government doing for its people.
Whatever the governments asks from its people, it's just another sign that they can't do it themselves and they know it. Hasn't anybody noticed how much government officials are urging people for assistance, practically begging. US, the most powerful, equipped and trained country in the world, and they are asking for door-to-door help from its people. Why are we paying taxes?
Some countries pay 25 cents for a pack of cigarettes where in US its 6,7,8,9 dollars. Where's the morality in this? And if it's not taxes, somebody is getting awfully rich because the government allows them to overcharge its people. Where's the law in that to protect its citizens from paying too much for nothing. Company's should charge for their products only what it's worth with a decent profit. What are they doing?
US citizens are not about to let government decisions or laws run their lives. That's why the people are taking matters in their own hands. And soon enough US will be free.

After two bogus wars
And the spin after Katrina
I don't trust a god damned word the government says, not one.
What I find equally as troubling, is the media still prints word for word what the government says and pretty much does it without question.
What I find just as troubling, is all those here who will selectively believe the government while doing the same in disbelief.
The USA is full of contradictions and it doesn't start from the top down, its starts with all of us.
Peace

No,In America, the inmates truly run the asylum.Stephen Kinzer’s Overthrow, rife with well-researched examples of America’s imperial conquests from Mexico to Iraq, further validates the assertion many other writers and I have been making for some time now. While manifestations of the dark side of human nature are inevitable aspects of human civilization, the American Way requires its dedicated adherents to commit their lives to cruelty and inhumanity. If human civilization is to survive, we need to collectively reject this abominable mandate.
America is a nation of the wealthy, by the wealthy and for the wealthy. Its ruling elite class is buttressed by the poor and working people who have been rendered politically impotent by the allure of conspicuous consumption (which further enriches the elite), the illusion of democracy, and the extremely remote possibility that one of them could be the next Bill Gates.
Wearing its cloak of benevolence, America is an abstract embodiment of the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. Governed by avaricious profiteers produced and enabled by a ruthless system that brings out the worst in humanity, the United States is a predacious nation innocently posing as a bastion of human rights and democracy.

I stopped listening to the government when Bush said that Saddam had WMD's already pointing at the US and then gave Saddam the ultimatum.

No, The last time I took the governments word on faith was when they denied there was any plans to invade Cuba the day before the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.

America is better than most countries but none of them are perfect. It's this very reason that sometime imperfect solutions are required, which may not be moral but may be necessary. Sometime situations don't give you the luxury to split hairs about the most moral course of action.

I think the Americans have been cheated and lied to. Here in Britain, I think New Labour are evil. I don't believe anything they say. And why is it that everybody on the streets seem so angry or unhappy?
