09.28.2003 Entry: "Proud to be American."

Last week watching the California recall debate on TV I found myself most impressed by the words of Peter Camejo. He seemed to be the only civil person in the debate. Arnold seemed to be the least informed of all the candidates, with his dim-witted smile. Even though Arianna Huffington was very rude (especially towards Arnold) I still found her extremely attractive - I’m sure it was her accent. Though it could have been her large nose, but then again she seems to be very feisty and I like it when a girl gets aggressive.

I decided before I even heard Camejo that I would vote for the green party. Politics are extremely corrupt, especially in the United States. I use the word extremely due to the fact that U.S. citizens are blind to what the government has in store for them. It’s funny how we think that our own government is perfect and how easily we criticize the rest of the world. I’ve seen this distorted view of the world on the news allot lately.

One thing that has really been getting on my nerves is this whole, Proud to be American and American Pride thing. I see it on billboards, on bumper stickers, on t-shirts… Everywhere! I think to myself, “are these people really that stupid? Do they realize that technically, Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Bolivians, and so many more are actually Americans?”

I should make some bumper stickers that have a Mexican and Canadian flag on it that reads proud to be American.
