got some $, lot's of it, like millions, hidden in that
lake nearby, LOL.

SA: Thank you for clarifying what I meant, and if I
said "only" that would be too exclusive. By best
interest, I meant what you said below. This is what I
mean by U.S. mainstream culture - the one that's on
the tellie.

SA: Yeap. I can't see the time when one person makes
a difference. That difference may sprout person to
person, but then were into community - and that's it,
it would take a community to flush this system clean.
Washington, D.C. is a giant that a president couldn't
come close to flushing. Now, if you want to go along
with the line of thinking of the current mainstream
thinking of bureaucracy, well then you can have
somebody like G.B., which enhances any current
problems. I really didn't know what to think of G.B.,
even after the Iraq War. I think too systematically
sometimes. I point the finger at the giant and not
any one single person, until, something very
contrasting comes along and it has come - 1: Tibet and
2: ROL. I mean, the G.B. might say something. He did
with Tibet, but Tibet is much more of an issue that
the U.S. gov't would say something about. Tibet's
outside of the borders of the U.S. The U.S. always
feels it needs (again talking about the giant) to say
something or have its' hand in something outside of
itself, but the U.S. lacks introspection and ROL is
definitely inward looking - smack dab in the Midwest.
G.B. said he'll still go to the Olympic games, some
other representatives in U.S. congress have publicly
spoke out against China, but what does the U.S. gov't
know what to do with ROL. I see a blank stare.

SA: I lost faith a long time ago unfortunately. At
least you can still write letters to your
representatives. I've become very apathetic, even
pathetic, when it comes to the role of the U.S. gov't
anymore. All the libraries, public roads, and state
or federal forest lands can be supported by the people
in more transparent grass roots collective action, if
we had more time on our hands, both spouses didn't
have to work two jobs, etc..., etc... The U.S. gov't
isn't "the People", that's a label, but without
experience of this happening, well, this label is the
same as stating the Flying Spaghetti Monsters are over
my house right now. A large U.S. gov't doing all this
'stuff' for people is due to people losing the ability
to do on their own. The creativity is failing
miserably.
