Just for all to read and know – if I wrote it here then I am right and you are wrong… So quit trying to confuse me with logic and go punch something for fun.

I really think you hit on something important here. The basic building blocks of truth, honor, valor, and doing the right thing have changed and morphed into something different. We as a people have changed, and what we find important has changed. I guess the question to ask is; is this change good, and by good I mean, what philosophy are we basing our lives on? Is our philosophy nihilistic; materialistic? And is this helping us as people. Will this help our nation grow and prosper, or bring us down sniveling and grasping at straws to our knees? As you mention in your article, we are getting lazy and this is not only in the psychological sense but the physical sense as well. It’s ironic that we are so fat and lazy yet we are the hardest working nation in the world. In the end I think you are right; we need leaders that hold fast to their values and can make a difference. But what are these values? What are they based on? Who are these people…

“If you are living in a foodless desert all you need to do is pick a direction and walk to remediate your situation”
I would have to disagree with this statement. Yes, If you were an American, born and raised in a capitalistic environment and plopped down into sub-Saharan Africa you most definitely would pick a direction and walk your way outa there. With your smarts and great work ethic, you would find a city with an internet connection, contact an embassy or better yet create a website where you would post a pic of your pathetic self online so people could donate you money for a plane ticket to get your ass outa the sub-Saharan shithole. But… it’s not that easy if you were born there. If you are a sub-Saharan African you are thinking more about when your next meal is or how you are going to stay alive or feed your family. You don’t think out side the box, you can’t even barely make enough money in your entire lifetime to buy a plane ticket to get out that place. So, yeah you don’t need to feel sorry for them, donate to a charity that feeds them, or even care that millions die of starvation every year, but you at least have to see that its not as easy as just walking outa that place. And if they could, how happy would you really be to see millions of starving Africans migrating to America in search of a better life.
Uh huh, that’s what I thought…
