Dude, where’s my country?

Guys,
Just completed reading this funny book. Well, it’s funny and true! I don’t think I need to introduce Micheal Moore anymore :), Being an American, he’s really frank about what’s happening in the US, even more frank than some non-American around the world.

and I, being a non American myself, feel a big relief, since there’s someone inside US soil that really brave to talk the truth, nothing but the truth. Honestly, that’s the beauty about the place call USA, you can talk and do anything without being arrested, as long as you didn’t kill anyone, of course… Feel sad about some country who claimed that are ‘free speech country’ but not even allowed to say something that directly affect their daily life.. (Maybe I should stop here hehe..)

Really recommend this book to you guys….!

Free Chapter

A Liberal Paradise

THERE IS A COUNTRY I would like to tell you about. It is a country like no other on the planet. Many of you, I am certain, would love to live there.

It is a very, very liberal, liberated, and free-thinking country. Its people hate the thought of going to war. The vast majority of its men have never served in any kind of military and they aren’t rushing to sign up now. They abhor guns and support any and all efforts to restrict the usage of personal firearms. Its citizens are strong supporters of labor unions and workers’ rights. They believe that corporations are up to no good and should not be trusted.

The majority of its residents strongly believe in equal rights for women and oppose any attempt by the government or religious groups who would seek to control their reproductive organs. In overwhelming numbers, the people of this country I speak of believe that gay and lesbian people should have the same opportunities as straight people and they should not be discriminated against in any way.

In this country nearly everyone wants to have the strongest protections necessary to ensure a clean environment. And they take personal responsibility by doing a number of things every single day to cut down on pollution and waste.

This country is so far to the left that 80 percent of its people believe in universal health care and racial diversity on college campuses.

This country I know of is so hippy-dippy-free-love and all that jazz that only a quarter of its people believe that drug users should go straight to jail-perhaps because, as their president has, 41 percent of the citizens have admitted to using illegal drugs themselves! And when it comes to holy matrimony, the number of people who live together and don’t get married is up 72 percent in the past decade, and 43 percent of them have children.

I’m telling you, this country is so commie-pinko-weirdo, its conservative party can never get more than 25 percent of its recurring voters to join it, while the vast majority of its citizens define themselves as either members of the liberal party, or worse-independent or anarchist (the latter just simply refusing ever to vote!).

So, where is this utopia I write about, this land of liberal-lefty, peacenik tree-huggers (and how soon can you and I move there)?

Is it Sweden?

Tibet?

The Moon?

No! You don’t have to go to the moon because . . . you’re already there! This Land O’ Left paradise I speak of is none other than . . . the United States of America….
