I'm curious. I'm not defending torture. I'm not defending the other evils wrought by the US government. I'm not waving a flag and yelling "THEY ASKED FOR IT!" or any other redneck nonsense. I am trying to change the country for the better by voting in every election. By calling, writing, and meeting with my local, state, and national representatives. I am trying to help my fellow men and women who suffer in poverty. I'm just trying to be a nice person. And I happen to identify as an "american". So… yep - I bristle a little bit at the comment "fuck america" We've got a lot of work to do. But I'm not sure a "fuck america" comment in some dark corner of hubski is very constructive. I don't think I'm trying to pick a fight - I'm just curious.
