Journal Journal: Our future in the USA

I don't know if anyone reads my journal but I really felt the need to rant today after reading the following

http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/23/news/economy/medicare/index.htm

I am 30 years old and have paying money into the goverment for the last 15 years. The changes that I will have medicare support, and get a social security check when I retire are pretty slim.

Where did all the money I paided in go? What do I pay that money for? When It comes time to get my check can I sue because they can no longer provide.

You can sue the company you work for if the mismanage your 401k money, or other funds. Can we sue the goverment for being total idiots when it comes to handing our future?

And thats if I even make it to 65 without going broke because every day more and more jobs leave the US.

But thats ok, the US is doing great. As long as we have a war on terror to fight, and other countries to spend billions of dollars on a year, Why bother wondering about the problems right here in our own country.

I truly feel at the rate we are going there will be another "American" revolution. How many rights can they take away from us before other countrys consider the US a bad place to live.

Look at china, We like to act in shock about the way they treat there people, but if you look our goverment is heading in that exact direction.

It may take 50 years but the trend is there, it won't happen over night it will happen slowly so people will not complain much but there will come a point where we hit the apex and everything goes downhill from there.

Yea, I might not be alive then, chances are I will be shot in some RIAA financed raid on my house because they suspect I harbor illegal music, which has been declared a federal crime, labeled me a terrorist and has the penalty of death.

At least then I won't have to worry about that damn Social Security check will I!

Journal Journal: Web Hosting by GlobalServers ad on Slashdot

How funny is that ad.. They talk about a server being b0rk3d and a saturated dsl pipe.. A Slashdotting..

Then they suggest you go get a 14.95 VPS server from These GlobalServer people..

14.95 gets you a whole 30gb file transfer.. A good slashdotting can wipe that away in a instant.. Not to mention I would be very interested in how well a 14.95 VPS takes a nice slashdotting.

Even there most expensive VPS plan only includes 100gb.. Plus with it only included 10gigs of hard drive space you can be sure your sharing that server with at least 3 if not more people.. Even if a text site doesnt use all the bandwidth im sure a good slashdotting would make it cry..

If I had one request about any ad on here.. I wish it was at least honest, or made some sense.
