I know many Americans who would join you in the government disdain.

I still love living here, a lot. In my opinion it really IS a great country underneath all of the lying and scandals and politics. The two party system is crap. Complete crap. Many people I know in their 20s or 30s are registered Independents. (I'm personally Libertarian... I'm that... special kind of crazy.)

I had a dad but he was never around. So I guess I should start walking around with an air of self gratitude? (Sarcasm)
