That may be my weak point, and i know it all too well, besides, Americans dont look like they want anything changed, especially the upper class, so they shall die in thier own filth, i'll leave once i graduate and head for France....leave this place behind and forget it. And dont get me wrong, Obama will probably be trying his best, but even he is not above the law. He can only go as far as the Senate is willing to throw him. (thats why i rather live in a country with a tyrant)

The Patriot/Mel Gibson:Why should i trade One tyrant 3000 miles away for 300 tyrants 1 mile away?

Oh, in your case, then.
Move somewhere else and watch America do whatever (no offense)
Perhaps come join me and Europe.

I'll say this: if the States don't get some changes soon, starting with this upcoming new President, there's gonna be another revolution in America.

How did you know I had a pancake fetish? jk jk :P

I'm not that political or anything and I have no intention of really saying anything further, but the first part of your post (that I didn't include) does raise a lot of questions about the flaws of our society, but to be fair, the U.S. is actually a fairly new country compared to the ones you listed. They've had "thousands of years" to work out the kinks whereas we've only had a couple hundred (and they aren't perfect either, btw). In the grand scheme of things, 200 or so years isn't very long and we're bound as a society to make mistakes until we too work out the kinks...or, you know, totally collapse. Of course, that doesn't bring much solace to us living in a time that seems hopeless, but maybe that adds some perspective.

Back on topic: I don't think I've converted any heathens, btw. But I have talked about Lili enough to some friends that I'm not really allowed to anymore...

Most of my friends know that I love Alizee and Mylene Farmer. They think they're both really pretty, but don't really like their music. They're not big on pop. Lately I've been showing my mom some Mylene videos, but she likes Alizee better, she thinks Mylene's voice is too high. I also made her a slideshow of some pictures of me and my brother and his family (his wife and kids) with the translated lyrics to L'effet, and played the song. She cried, haha. Again, she doesn't really like pop though, she thinks its monotonous. I always try and share my love of both Alizee and Mylene with my friends, but none yet really love them.

I've tried so many times to get my friends to listen to alizee!! But they all did german in school so it's no use
But when I become a french teacher I'm gonna have special classes on how amazing she is

I'm going to show my friend some of Alizee's music tonight. I'm pretty hyped.
