A message often aimed at the youth, and a good one, is that they need to take responsibility for their actions. Unfortunately, if they are at all savvy about the world, they realize that those with the most power in society often do not set a good example for this, in fact appear to be getting away with the opposite — a sheer lack of responsibility. Whether it’s phony-assets CEOs, buck-passing politicians, bottom-feeding, scandal-chasing newsmedia, "we’re only reflecting society" TV programmers, movie producers and record executives, a young person can see many examples of people being very successful in America while displaying a basic irresponsibility.



Rednecks are a big part of the problem with U.S. society because of their love for guns, screen violence, scandal-centered media and racist policies. They hate liberals because, first of all they’re generally more intelligent, but also because they blame them for the PC guidelines against mistreatment of gays, women and people of different races, as well as the strict restrictions and penalties for hitting their wives, girlfriends and children, which they surely like to do, especially after they get liquored up and watch some football, wrestling, car racing and shows with lots of hollerin', shootin' and fightin'.



These modern-day Republican leaders are of the ilk that strenuously supported the evil and immoral Vietnam War, and still defend it. One of Kerry’s major mistakes was not confronting the foreign policy tragedy and human holocaust (5 million dead) that the war represented.

He should have spoken out against our sending professional killers to Asia for no justifiable reason, like he did back in the day when he had moral resolve and less selfish ambition.
