I am an American. My government is the United States, which no longer has a soul. It openly represents only the greedy and powerful; it does not represent 98% of Americans. I live among Americans; almost all of us are kind and generous people who are horrified at the arrogance of our government towards other countries. But we are easily duped. Too trusting. And so it has come to pass that almost everything we can remember that was once good is getting bad - and so quickly we can't keep track of what the government is doing anymore. We fear for our futures, and it is making us isolated from one another. We Americans need to get out of the voting booths and into the streets.
