Americans sick of America
According to a recent Gallup Poll, only 19% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are here in the U.S of A. For those of you that can’t do math like me, that says 81% of Americans don’t like it here. Now I don’t know about you, but I think that it is pretty pathetic that in a country where we have a say on what goes on in government we can be so displeased with what happens. Don’t Americans know that they can change things instead of just complain?

The problem with Americans is that they love to complain a lot, but they don’t really care enough to do something about it. So we complain and we make jokes about our government because we don’t care enough to fix it. Jefferson writes in the Declaration of Independence that we are more inclined to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to fix the situation. If we cared enough to be informed we might realize that the evils have reached the insufferable. People feel disconnected from the government, like it should just manage itself. People would rather just complain or joke rather than actually accept responsibilty, get off their complaining butts and do something.
