If I'm not mistaken change can be good. I look back and recall a time when colonial America had it decent enough, infact they had it damn well, but then they challenged the British and (with help from the French) we are here in a wonderful and thriving nation compared to others.

Alpha, do you know what history is? Have you ever opened a history book? Colonial America had it good?! Are you crazy? Up until the Revolutionary War, Colonial America was treated terribly. England made them quarter troops, regulated all of their business, and imposed large tariffs on practically everything, meanwhile allowing America no representation in Parliament. You'd be pissed if your parents decided everything you do without your input. Well, America was pissed, too, and rightfully so.
I'm all for challenging the government if it is treating it's people badly, but ours has not. I do not believe it deserves any criticism, especially from us: A bunch of kids who talk big and act like they know a lot when we don't know jack. I do know one thing, though: I am happy for what I have got, and won't complain about it.
