Government to Blame

RECEIVED Sat., Oct. 4, 2008

Dear Editor,
    First of all I would like to thank George W. Bush for fucking us to the max and putting us in a situation that we cannot seem to get ourselves out of in a logistical manner. Now, more than ever, neighbors hate one another because of their political views which, as always, contradict themselves. I feel personally terrible because I have always had a loving relationship with my country. But I feel I've been punched in the face by the media and by the two people who are running for the leader of our so-called "free world." I personally would not even call it an election for the president of the United States of America, because in order for that to happen, your vote would have to count. In the past eight years, it has not. I'm not coming forward and saying we're at the point of communism, but when a bank or a group of banks has all of the power to drown our economy at its own will right in front of our own eyes and there are no consequences, this is not the freedom I learned about in school. This is poison to the American public and our great government sees a bailout as an antidote when in true life it only leads to more of a recession, or should I say Great Depression 1929 here we come. But this time we have nothing to blame it on but our greedy self-reluctant government who care nothing more than to feed themselves their own bullshit.
