Like a bad scene out of "Star Wars," the bush administration is on a global take over. I agree with Norman Mailer's novel "Why are we at War?", "capitalism does have this tendancy to take over large parts of the economies of other countries. Often we are the next thing to cultral barbarians. We don't always pay attention to what we are trampling. What intensifies the anger is how often we are succeful in these commercial invasions"(pg.24). Darth President Bush "as I like to refer him as,"does have a stubborn cowboy outlook of a global economy. Take over everyone then start from scratch. Thankfully there are people in the world who do see a difference in global peace and global capital."Norman Mailer nailed the thought I already precieved on the head, the Bush administration has no clue as to what cultural values they are changing. A brighter outlook would be to view each culture librally(ugly word for Bushians, not meeting there concepts of capitalism) and unite through a global support system, allowing each society to choose what is best for their people's well being.
If America is a true Christian nation, a nation with the freedom of God and that of compassion, then our people need to practice less power and greed for commmon wealth and start practicing a smarter mythed of democracy.One that practices values of equality and well being for everyone poor and rich. Unlike, the capitalist race for the top of who can own the biggest and the most. One global economy would be great but it can't be forced by power and money. Being a Christian nation is not supposed to mean more money for ourselves but more for our country men.
Norman Mailer also brought to light that, America after 9/11, gained a false sense of patriotism. There was a sudden boom in patriotism after the terrioristic attack on the world trade centers .The sudden rise also indicated that most americans that did not care, all of the sudden have huge interest in striking back the terriorist for there trespasses. That false patriotism got Darth Bush relected for another four years of america looking like arrogate cowboys. Patriotism should be held in high esteem even in times of a poor economy and lack of proper leadership. If Americans want to become a leader in global economy then we need to start practicing in more active politics and start paying more attention to who we elect to run as the leaders of the free world. A lack of attenion to politics can lead to a loss of more freedoms (A.K.A. The patriot act). Thankfully there are people who stay devoted to the human rights we are all entitled. If not for your Norman Mailers, Al Gores, and good common citizens our nation could go tubbling down a dark path of global disastor. Don't be blinded by propaganda. Look into the leaders of our democracy and make sure they are doing there jobs. Common people still have the majority power over our country. Politicians must listen to the citizens or we can boot them to the curb. "All we have to loss is our chains"(Carl Marx). Be active in politics or you could get another Darth Bush in our near future, set to violate human rights for a profit. America is the greatest country on Earth, now its time to start acting like it.

Pass. Catchy title, the content followed it well and was interesting. Good points.
Pass. Great blog. I believe that the Americans who had no direct personal impact from 9/11 did care and as any human being would do, we all wanted justice on anyone who bombed our country and killed thousands of innocent people.
