The opinions of a non-US citizen

You know, from my distance in far flung NZ (...here be the dragons...), I can't understand you Americans. As individuals you are smart, good people (in general) but as a nation you are panicky, hysterical and fickle. So easily swayed but the whims of pink-faced halfwits that parade themselves on TV and stoke your fears. Your political system is so fucked and broken by the corporate needs and media spectacles that it seems, to other western countries, that the nation that brought as western liberal democracy has strayed so far from its original ideals as to almost be a parody of itself.

Agreed. During a history lecture on the Cold War we were discussing the effect it had on American politics, and the lecturer commented that American politics has always had a paranoid streak. I found myself nodding along. EddyP (talk) 21:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Dude, 2008 is so two years ago. Hell, 6:55 PM is so two minutes ago. You need to think more reactionary than that. sterile exhaust pipe 22:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
