Apparently you think it is the mission of the US government to save the world, one country at a time? The function of government is to use its citizens taxes money to be janitor to the world, and as you so eloguently say, pick up the crap.

Well, no, its everyone responsibility, but if we are the only ones who do it, its just going to take a while. Germany has two hands too. . . , so does russia. . . France I think actually does its part. . .

I can see it every day. I go to work,I look around, and I see problems. And then I see people with these problems saying "hey, i didn't cause that/ i'm not the janitor/ I don't get paid to fix that/ theres no point in fixing that/ there to much to fix/ fixing it won't make a difference/ i don;t have the right o fix it. . . blah blah blah. .. " When you say that you serve nothing but lazyness, selfishness and the desire to leave the world in the sorry state it is. You sound just like one of them. No desire to make the world better, no desire to improve anything, and certainly not someone who wants to leave the world better than when you entered it.

Gee, and I thought we had a government of our choosing, National, State and local to serve us, not the rest of the world. I thought the functions of these layers of government were first to protect the citizens and secondly (herein the arguement on these boards) to enhance the quality of life issues that sociey presents to its citizens.

Thanks for clearing this up for me. A nation with a mission. Are we supposed to save souls also?

We live in a world, I would like humanity, I would like my children, to live in a better one. That means no KJI, no SH, and no OBL, add your fav villan here (ha ha, I know 'George Bush' funny funny. . . )
