Culture Shock

It’s odd, but I don’t think that I would want to live in another culture except for America.
As much as I have been known to bitch, moan, groan and complain about how utterly messed up, disorganized, and corrupt it is, I have a level of freedom and wealth that is amazing. Of course, I have never been to Britain, or France, or any of the European countries, and I know that they have a different culture. But at the same time, I see that American culture is like a disease, is has spread & infected that whole world.
I prefer the messed up original of anything to the even more messed up duplicate of it.
And I don’t think that there are any non-westernized countries that I could be a black bisexual woman in, and feel as comfortable in my daily actions as this country here.

However, if I could CREATE a culture that I could live in, it would have to be a lot like America, but how America could/can be if it reached it’s full potential. There will always be the dichotomy of living in a capitalistic society and trying to implement socialist programs, but I firmly believe that if those who were in power were not as greedy and narrow minded as the current crop of politicians that we have, that this country could be a much better place. If the money went to the right places and the right people and there was less emphasis on killing and more on keeping those whom are here alive the bet way they can. If there was less bigotry and more acceptance. If there was a casual indifference to color & religion. If there was a true separation of church and state…*sighs* if all of those things WERE true, The US would be a damn near perfect culture to live in. Until then however, I think that I will stay here, and suffer through what comes….

Stay Jazzed.

Note: This could have been much better, but the farewell wine from the previous entries has me a little fuzzy.
