Our government.
I grew up in lah-lah land, thinking everything was fantastic.
We are the USA & we are the best, blah blah, we have friends across the globe, blah blah, the Indians shared Turkey with us & everyone is just okay with everything.
then I found out, slowly, but surely that everything I was raised to know, everything school taught us, was a fucking illusion.
so, ya... I used to love saying the pledge of alligence in class every morning as a kid in the early 80s & thinking the world was a great place & the U.S.A was on top of the world. Then I found out what an ugly nation it has been, the dirty deeds it has done, the peoples lives that it has wrecked & the only patriots are the ones who are loyal to their families & friends, cause the nation & government dont give a flying fuck about you or anyone but themselves.
