Strolling Johnny, you poor lad, you obviously do not grasp the simple truth that life begins and ends with the Democratic and Republican parties and that great "renewal of democracy" that pits them mindlessly and viciously against each other every four years in a superbowl extravaganza that is the Mother of All Elections, punctuated by a halftime playoff 2 years in between for Congress. If you had been born in the USA and indocrinated from toddlerhood in the incomparable truths enshrined in such prestigious documents as the Declaration of Dependence and the Constitution of the U-B-knighted States of Fecking America...if you had been lined up at 8 AM every weekday from the age of 6 to put your hand on your trembling heart and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Fecking Flag of the aforementioned U-B-knighted etc...THEN maybe you would get it.

Count your blessings, mate.
