i'm 19. i'm going to graduate with my degree in english next year. and while admittedly i'm still a young 'un, i have to look forward. i do not want to raise my kids in a country this backwards. we are bent on consumption, obsessed with profit, and run by a bunch of facsistic theocratic authoritarianists. we have to work 50 hours a week just to make ends meet. my generation is not going to have any sort of social services by the time we hit retirement (which is now 75, if you didn't know). if i get sick, i'm knackered. no health insurance. the schools are an utter, utter failure. the economy is going downhill. we are in the largest depression since the 30s. we've lost more jobs in the last five years than in the great depression. this country has no future but death, destruction, and decay. we are fighting a war the world is opposed to, and there's a good chance that i and most of my peers will be drafted. there is no political freedom. this is not a democracy (it never was, anyway) and it doesn't look like it will ever be. we now have to speak our minds in "free speech zones."



it's a big shit, and i want out.


wow, that was negative.
