]]> Comment on America? by katieanne http://stateofmind.today.com/2008/10/29/america/#comment-23 katieanne Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:11:00 +0000 http://stateofmind.today.com/2008/10/29/america/#comment-23 I think that many Americans have lost the meaning of democracy - the right of the individual to choose. From this election it's clear that many people have no respect for anyone to hold a different opinion and treat those supporters with opposing views to their own with contempt. Unfortunately this is being examplified by some of the leaders. The US was a great example to the world on a postive democracy, but watching the events from across the ocean, I don't find that to be completely true anymore.

Obviously he isn't entirely blaming the media, and who knows if that's actually what he intended the song to be about, it's just my interpretation of it.

Independence is valued far too highly in our society. I mean we are trained from a young age to believe that being able to survive in the "wild" is essential, and TV only perpetuates this message. Accepting help is viewed as week. However, I won't go so far as to claim that this will end war. War is not just based upon independence and the need the prove yourself (although this is a base desire of religions, capitalism, adventure stories, etc.). It is based upon desire for more things, more stuff you don't need. Like land, excess food, paper that I agree with you ryan. Independence is valued far too highly in our society.
