Franklin to be the symbol of the U.S. You see you are all just traitors - who have glorified the fact that you managed to break free of civilized society. Free to roam off west and kill indians, murder and slaughter, and then keep it going right up till today all in the name of 'revolution' - yet the only democratic revolution the U.S. has ever supported was the seperation of the English from the English - and most of you not being Anglo-Saxons still glorify this little episode in the Third British Empire as though it was somehow related to your current experience. Most every other part of the British Empire has gone on to have far more civilized society. Yet, the barbarism which you cultivate only makes it easier for you 'lot' to be controlled. So be it! -You see the United States has cut itself off from its past and thus has become like a ship without a rudder. Veering endlessly towards a vacant, vapid, distopian nightmare. Cultureless, unless you call culture violence - appealing to the most base in humans is not enlightened. It cannot be said that 'all' people who live in the United States are that way - people do move there!! Oh! Like when I was in Paris at a gallery and some americans came by and said "Ya seen one paintin' ya seen em all!!" and "Ya I got one of those at home".. please ! The richest country on earth has the worst health-care system, the most expensive system serving few! And you fall for it! Duh sounds like commmmunism ta me!! ya I gotta pay fer it ma self!! ya thats the manly thing ta do! do you want more info it is on the web you can see how the US compares in culture and in civility :-)
