Is saving the United States futile?

Asked by kidkosmik (452points) February 2nd, 2010

Has our current state of affairs made anyone feel helpless to the point where they are depressed? I feel this way for a couple of reasons not only because this country is going down the toilet. I was driving to work and I saw a minivan with a McCain/Palin sticker. Nothing new but I thought to myself “Do people really think there’s that much of a difference between the two parties?” It’s a real shame we don’t have more choices as these two parties have both proven to be corrupt and inept. What about the Green or Libertarian parties? Not enough publicity and if they do get it’s usually negative.

I am sad and scared that if anyone made any attempt to change the status quo they would disappear, including myself. I mean really try, with grassroots meet-ups from the ground up.

What are your thoughts?

Over the years I have turned apathetic. I’m going to Europe! someday
