Re: OT: US President (US Dom Players only)
It seems to me the main value in USA is money, if you have none then the society will seem less egalist( you cannot afford a lawyer = less rights). There is also a surprising percentage of black people in prison, but I'm sure you have the right explanation ? Do you think they are more inclined to criminal acts ? Or are they refused a correct education/equal rights ? But maybe USA judges tend to condemn them more ?
The democracy can also be contested, as people doesn't directly vote for their president, but for people who promise they'll do the right choice, so if it is a democracy, it is highly indirect.
What history has learned to me is that you can be sure anyone reaching a position of domination will pretend being better in various domains, like morality and human rights in the present case.
Must I also say this country, where white people are a minority, has a surprising number of white people at interesting positions, but no doubt this is due to natural superiority of white people ? Or...?
I won't even discuss the organized exploitation of southern america people (the so called 'latinos'), it disgusts me too much.
All in all, I don't say USA is worse than the states that came before it to world domination (IE :french, england), but it tends to repeat the same stupid schemes, telling to who would listen them they are superior 'moraly', negating the fact they became what they are by following an opportunistic military strategy. And, in the particular case of USA, having clever leaders in terms of economical development.
I do agree with you that the constant propaganda we can see on TV, and in hollywood films tend to convince the most gullible that USA is a perfect place, where morality and freedom are always respected, were rivers of milk and honey flows, blablabla....
END SEQUENCE : everyone watches, a tear in the eye, an american flag floating in the air...
