Just Another Average Killing Spree in the U.S.

I'm starting to think the whole American myth  is and was a fake and nothing more than a sophisticated propaganda machine.  All that crap about the "greatest country on earth," "home of the brave," "land of the free," "envy of the world."  It's all bullshit!  There's not much to envy in the U.S. anymore.  Higher rates of poverty than much of the developed world, no health care for millions, shrinking middle class, government controlled by lobbyists and corporations and to top it all off guns, violence and crime.

Just a few headlines from this weekend:

"Man shoots 9 at US skating rink"
"11 wounded as gunfire erupts at Kent car show"
"Gunman kills 5, himself in Texas"
"3 dead, 1 hurt in Ariz. motorcycle rally shooting"
"9 teens hurt in Apopka house party shooting"

I wonder if Americans even notice the carnage in the streets and I wonder if they have any idea that most developed countries and many developing countries in the world don't suffer from that sort of violence and mayhem.  It's a joke that the U.S. pretends to be a role model throughout the world—nation building, a ridiculous number of military sites, judging other countries—the the whole country is crumbling under their noses and they can't even see it!  Good luck U.S.A!  I think your glory days are long gone!  I just hope you don't take down the rest of the world with you!  R.I.P.
