We must remember that your country is much smaller in population with controlled borders. Your government appears to have a better handle of managing its laws and does not have to answer to the world. The USA has a complex and out of control government, that is held accountable to each and every world event. As a sailor I traveled half the world during the VietNam War and was treated to the world with a different view than was presented by our media then. It's apparent the our citizens are arrogant and pompous when traveling abroad and our media and entertainment standards are rude and thoughtless. So then we look towards one person that is "elected" to serve as the spokesperson to the world. Yes, Bill and George have not necessarily been the pinnacle of this position. Personally Bill was an absolute embarrassment to the highest position of our land and this is the reason the most folks will not vote for his wife. George on the other hand was not really the best person for the job. BUT! he was the better of the two choices we've had at the past two elections. Now we count down to the next president that once again we have to decide on one. As a nation that originally based its freedom on "Taxation without representation", (LOL!) we loose almost 60% of our paychecks to taxes. And the Democratic wisdom is based on raising taxes and making us more dependent upon the government. THere is actually a law still on the books that allows one to not pay taxes. But the courts do not let us exersize this law freely. We have out of control borders, a legal system that has run amuck and polititions that are not accountable for their own actions be it legal or illegal. All this being said, this is my country. I have fought for it's flag where others had died. Our next president will not be any better than those he has preceded. Because he leads a government that is unchanging. So, like it or not its my country and I'm standing by it's flag.
