Jesus Christ, I blame England for this boring conversation, all they had to do was tax you and they couldn't even do that properly...

Um, no offense, but you sound paranoid. The fore fathers of this country set basic groundwork for American values based on what they saw wrong with England. They have stood the test of time. Free will was given to all humans, not just Americans. Weapons that kill are not just and American thing, nor is war for real estate,(just take a peek at the Israeli/Palestinian issue over a chunk of dirt) I disagree with your premise. The constitution is fine, it's the people who stray from it that's not. We need only one change-to make those in power directly accountable for their actions. If righteous, then they will stand in the light...if not, they should be prosecuted and summarily punished once all facts are in evidence by an unbiased group with no political affiliation. But that's my thought. Good luck with your book.

Pleasant Greetings to All, This is my first post to the site, however, I have read several posts on different topics. America is unique, trapped in the control of traditional ancient war based economic thinking, with more powerful weapons than at any other time in the history of mankind. Some people want to use these new weapons to gain control of real estate and natural resources in lands other than where they live, often to the detriment of the people in the land where the desired real estate or resource is located. Scientific research into Human personality Type is not an easy task, however much has been done to distinguish between preferential behavior choices relative to 16 core sets of definable characteristics; based on the work of Jung, or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. I go a couple steps further in my approach to understanding the core relationship between free will choice characteristics and environmental influences that lead people, with help of traditional thinking, news bias, political bias, religious bias, etc. to behave like the current U.S. "leaders." Cutting to the point, I define "the problem" with "world leadership" as one most closely related to "the most willing to kill" attitude; attitude being a personality type issue. George Bush stated in one of the debates with John Kerry that "I know how the world should be run." I am no more a Kerry supporter than a supporter of either main U.S. political party, and I do not believe one person can "know how the world should be run." Read the rest of this post...
