Kim, while shadez might be batting for a team that just ain't gonna win this season at least he is getting off his ass and trying. How many other people (Americans or Europeans) do you know who try to make a difference? Most people just accept "shit happens" and look the other way, refusing to believe that things can get better.
I see it over here from one country to the next, different expectations bring different results. Shadez wants change and he might not get a Communist Amerika but he and his buddies might exert enough pressure to weaken the currently corrupt and failing system and make a change for the better.
I mean, your current economy has been on the verge of collapse for a few years now and when it goes the power goes with it, and the US doesn't have too many friends abroad... Of course that won't happen, at least not a huge shift in the balance as some people are predicting, but something has to change sooner or later.
