no your wrong your brave patriots are pretty uncommon.. now your common soldier fights for lies and worthless goals (ie iraq, iran, 'war on terrorism') prove me wrong.. however your fathers originiany fought for freedom because they were sick of the tyrant rule the british banks had on them . basicly the main bank LENT money WITH intrest to the colonies putting them instantly in debt. thats why america is america .. because they were sick of the bank owning them and wanted to be free. now you look at america today and see that it is owned by the bank, the bank lends the gov the money AT INTREST, and the bank controls how much of the money is in circulation , the bank caused the great depresion if you didnt know. anyway, the point is america is no better off now than it was under the rule of europeans. why? because generaly americans are stupid because they are taught to be that way.. its true the US dollar until 1930 (or sometime around then) had written 'worth its value in gold'
