Introducing THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA an ultra-liberal free-thinking country where the people overwhelmingly oppose the imperialist war in Iraq by 80%. The vast majority of Americas never served in the military and, NOT rushing to sign up. U.S. citizens are strong supporters of labor unions and workers' rights, believing that corporations are up to no good and shouldnt be trusted. The vast majority of American men recognize women as equals in any and all aspects. 70% of Americans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases and should be decided between a woman and her doctor and, want the Supreme Court to defend Roe v. Wade! Most Americans believe that gays and lesbians should have the same opportunities as straight people and they should not be discriminated against in any way. In this country nearly everyone wants the strongest protections necessary to ensure a clean environment, seeing global warming as the biggest threat. They even take personal responsibility by doing a number of things every day to cut down on pollution and waste. This country is so far to the left that 80% of its people believe in universal health care and racial diversity on college campuses. 86% of the American public agrees with the goals of the Civil Rights movement.We are so commie-pinko-weirdo here, the conservative party can never get more than 25 percent of its recurring voters to join it, while the vast majority of its citizens define themselves as either members of the liberal party, or worse-independent or anarchist (the latter just simply refusing ever to vote!).

All the Michael Moore films, videos by Robert Greenwald, all the Noam Chomsky videos, The Hunting of the President (documentary about the attack on the Clinton presidency), The Corporation (excellent documentary), Orwell Rolls in his Grave by Robert Kane Pappas, Danny Schechter's video;Weapons of Mass Deception;, Hacking Democracy by Simon Ardizzone, Who Killed the Electric Car? An Inconvenient Truth, Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers, Terrorstorm - A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism, all the Greg Palast films.

Most people I know recommend something to calm me down!
