It really pisses me off how badly this system is broken. I think it's particularly telling in my reaction to the current issues in France. Most people I've talked to say it's scary to think about 200 towns and villages rioting. I find it exciting and empowering, and think it's a glimpse of our future if the US doesn't change the way it treats its citizens and the other countries of the world. I'm hoping that this sparks major social changes worldwide. We can't keep marginalizing groups, ignoring people below the poverty line, and treating fellow human beings as sub-human.
