But I would also argue that a lot of these inventors have actually made life worst in many parts of the planet. I mean, you look at some these remote tribes and everyone is fed and content. You introduce a dose of western 'civilization' and soon enough everyone is on drugs and welfare.
But I still agree with you. Changes come from within a society. Government is wasteful and ineffective at solving even the most basic problems.
And I'm the one rooting for Obama. lol. The guy who wants expanded federal power. Here's how I view it though: George Bush was supposed to be this conservative but if anything the size of the government under his reign has ballooned out of control. Republicans say one thing and do another.
Government just keeps growing. This has been going on since the great depression. There's no going back now, so I might as well root for the guy who wants to reform our criminal justice system and health care.
He can also string words together and form full sentences that actually make sense in the English language.
It's fucking EMBARRASSING listening to Bush talk. I'm fucking sick of it. If you're going to be the chief executive of the United States then I think you need to at the very least communicate at a 3rd grade level.
Bush pisses a lot of people off over a whole host of issues, but this (rather minor) 'issue' has always been MY major quibble. It's like I root for him everytime I hear him talk. It's like, "spit it out, Georgie boy. Spit it out!"
And on the rare occasion he forms a cognitive thought and communicates it without raping the English language he gets this look on his face. He feel so proud. Inside he's like, "I did it! I actually did it! Yay!"
Three gold stars, George!
But really, AIDS is a big deal in Africa and Bush has given a lot of REAL support to the cause. His best one yet is his:
"Hey you darkies quit humpin' them monkeys" campaign. BRILLIANT!
