Americans have no power over the US Government.

But the government has power over us. How does democracy work?

In smaller gatherings it works better.

In America we just have to remind each other of how the good life gets that way and then keep working at it. Working HARD and everyone has to do it.

sree251 · 41-45, M

@Shadyglow No dreams. I can hardly cope with the nightmare of life in the USA.

@sree251 so how do you make it better?

probably not fighting for democracy right?

sree251 · 41-45, M

@Shadyglow Is there not enough fighting in the world? What's wrong with people?

@sree251 whats wrong is not enough solidarity and too much everyone for themselves.

@Shadyglow You can't blame the lack of solidarity if there is not enough money to go around for buying food, clothing, and shelter.

I was driving home yesterday and came to stop by a bridge due to traffic. From the side of my car window, I saw a guy having his dinner sitting on the sidewalk among his stuff. He was eating out of a styrofoam takeaway box. I was trying to see what he was eating when I saw a couple of pizza boxes beside him. He must have gotten his food thrown in the trash or dumpster. You want solidarity?

What's the matter with you?
