My answer...Fight...but how...I just am not sure.

Throughout this primary election it seems like our country's politics has turned into some sort of circus where the mass media do whatever they can to boost their ratings and pimp their advertisers. No longer is the American public truly informed with what is important. Instead we are constantly bombarded with trivial coverage of why one district in Lake County Illinois didn't turn their election results in in time for the evening news casts...Who cares! Tell me something important! Tell me what Obama, McCain, or Clinton plan to do about our economy or the war in Iraq. Hold them accountable so we can make informed decisions.

This dismal state of our country provides us all with an intricate two-fold problem. On one hand, we have this almost mythical idea of America's greatness that seems to be funneling down the drain. On the other, we have a culture that is not well equipped to stand up and challenge the status quo. Too many people are simply left ignorant to the intricate problems of our world.

Now notice how I said 'world' in that last sentence and not 'America'. People have got to start understanding that the ripples of our country's actions thousands of miles away have repercusions - albeit undesireable ones - in our own backyards. People wonder why so many people despise America and are willing to strap themselves with explosives in suicide bombs; yet, if my family was mercilessly killed by American bombs or ruthless US backed dictatorships I might be on the same boat...or plane.

With that said, I feel that our country is approaching its terminal phase of existence. Unless drastic changes in our politics occur we may all be left to fight for ther America that we once loved - even if it was just a myth...
