Americans are taught to believe theirs is "The Land of the Free", when actually they are slaves. Slaves to the great god Money. Much of the
world has more freedom than the USA.

"Then I trust that you at least will honour me with your company,"
said Sherlock Holmes. "It is always a joy to meet an American, Mr.
Moulton, for I am one of those who believe that the folly of a
monarch and the blundering of a minister in far-gone years will not
prevent our children from being some day citizens of the same
world-wide country under a flag which shall be a quartering of the
Union Jack with the Stars and Stripes."
-- A Conan Doyle, "The Adventure Of The Noble Bachelor,

My heart weeps for America, as it will weep for my own country if ever Farage and his cronies get control here. They will take us the same way
as a certain orange idiot has taken America.

They now have a leadership that represents all the worst things about America, and which is destroying their country. Worst of all is their 'conservative' fake Christianity which is incompatible with the Gospel.

As neither is true, I suggest that you summarise what you think you have learned.

of course you are correct.....when i was at University Youtube
...facebook etc were not accepted as authoritive at all....
it would seem there is a European movement moving away from Microsoft products and into the Open Source eco system.....they quoted internet
sources (which i did not verify)that seemed to prove that there is a
big move away from the Redwood giant to Open Source......at the time
for some reason i found it interesting....perhaps i should have looked
more deeply into it before i posted??
Madhu, I am someone who when I was young loved American pop music, and
TV programmes such as Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, and so on. Indeed,
the first time I ever set foot on American soil in 1980 when I was 22,
was also the first time I'd ever been outside the UK.
So don't get me wrong, I love America and American people. But I hate
what is bad about America, and that is their over-the-top capitalism,
their lax gun laws, their lack of proper health care provision for
all, and their lack of workers' rights.

besides the right way, i think, to view "america" is as a designation
for work force and support system of the global military industrial
banking complex. in this century it's hard to see it as a "nation",
given i don't think any of those post ww2 nations carved out as nations
by bankers are legitimate in the eyes of god, who still yet may call out
the nations.

I don't see it as "america" specific, its a global phenomenon, and i
believe it's happening in all the post www nations in some form or the
other the user experience of all are same as yours. for the narrative, ostensibly it originates in america.

(I;ve lived 6 years there, in abq, calif and 6 months in new england)
Personally I think religion should be much more about personal
development, rather than a means of controlling people. The Gospel
message couldn't be clearer, it's all about loving God and our neighbour.
I don't like to see certain people in the USA regime (or the IranianHe he. A good point. Of course, sometimes it may happen that God's side
regime) trying to claim "God is on our side". God is on God's side.
