**"as for me coming off as a condescending bighead, it was only in response to ghostsniper thinking i was just ranting on the internet without actually doing something.

I think deep inside i knew that, and the minute i hit post, i regretted it somewhat.
Sorry for taking your phrase out of context. I guess i was highlighting the irony of placing your actions next to the summation that we are a despicable country.
And perhaps apropriate for a separate post, i have truly and fundamentally lost faith in my power as an individual to make any of the power-holders responsible for actions that i dont agree with...Ok yes, I can and do vote, but somehow, it seems the main corruption that seems to define us in the eyes of the world is party-indifferent, and that the underlying interests that cause those behaviors and decisions are truly beyond my control. I am quiet becuase those who are supposed to protect me (a supposedly objective, and truth driven media) have utterly and irrevocably failed in their duty. And i have also seen personally how the establishment has the ability to utterly and completely crush the lone opposing individual. I owe my family the normality of a day to day living that does not include additional scrutiny of flight-lists, IRS intrusions, and other such political tools being utilized to settle dissent from the status quo. I no longer under the impression that my vote can steer ANY of whats happening in our entrenched power establishment...im not sure how we CAN believe that anymore.
so to sum..you surely did not offend, thanks for doing your part to add a plus sign to humanity. I guess i too am feeling defensive, and probably take more issue with GS's intent when he made that post.
Yes, we're on the same page.
