: Man, stop cutting & pasting, and look at what you're saying.
Not one cut or paste. I'm wordy.
: You're a free man, you're free to spend the money you earn, you're free to get a better job, you're free to do SO much. HOW are you a slave?
The only way I can afford even minimal health care is with the help of my folks and I'm a grown fucking man? I've got 30 grand in debt for GOING TO COLLEGE? I'm free?
: Your rant - and that is what it was - reminds me very much of the same regurgitated rhetoric proffered by angry college students and "Fight Club" enthusiasts. THE WORLD IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK IT IS.
The world, on the surface, is not as bad as you think.

: Sure, there are problems. I'm not going to lie or ignore the facts. But they are problems that exist everywhere, be that country capitalist, socialist or communist.
But it's our job, as people, to not just sit back and allow the problems to happen for everyone but those who came up lucky.
It's just another reason I'm annoying, I'm about as far to the left as one can be and still be in the Democratic party... not be a Green or something.
