I saw the Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko yesterday and I can whole heartedly recommend it to all.
It’s made me realize we have a “special” relationship with an abhorrent regime, that being the current US government.
I don’t want to bash America, just their political system that sold their citizens rights and freedoms to a greedy corporate under class.
U know how we have those “Australia says NO to violence against women” commercials, well I think it’s time we start an “Australia says NO to the US government and it’s greedy corporations”.
This is a psychopathic government that sponsors terror, kills and kidnaps Australians, kills 100 of thousands of innocent civilians around the world, pollutes our world, consumes more than it’s fare share and it’s NOT a true representative of the American people.
I think as friends we need to encourage American citizens to make a stand and put in jail these sicko people that control the land of the “Free” (I see greed) and stop them from exporting their idea of freedom to the rest of the world. We also need to look at our own back yard and make sure we don’t end up like them. Howard has destroyed most our workers rights we/they/you fought SOO long to obtain. I don’t want to live in a country where we are only concerned about saving money for the “boss” and not the family who works for the “boss”. And I really don’t like paying for government commercials that lie to the public making us think it’s OK for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.
Sorry for the rant, I just think we need to pay close attention to who we call our friends and look after all our people.
Like Moore says “We truly are all in the same boat, and no matter what our differences are, we sink or swim together”.
And one from Che: "The people united will never be defeated".
