That is the problem with the underclass in America today. They can't afford basic necessities. In some countries you can live fat off just a few thousand dollars a year. In America, you can have a hard time getting the necessities with 15,000 dollars a year.
I have to agree on every point you made about repealing DADT. I don't understand LGBT groups that spent so much capital on the issue. Typically, these groups are to the left, so why should they want to fight in the oil wars? I guess it is due to the bi-partisan acceptance of the "Support the Troops" charade.
In regards to the Tea Party, they are full of shit. All they are a bunch of old racist, neo-conservative, liars. They don't care that their taxes are too high, they care that Blacks and Latinos are recieving social benefits. Nevermind that the defense budget is 20% of the national budget, that most of welfare goes to people like them, through tax credits, medicare, and social security. They don't realize that it isn't the underclass ruining the country, it's the burgeoning group of medicare recipients as the country gets older, demographically.
On prostitution, in certain couties of Nevada regulated brothels are legal, and it seems to be safe, productive, and the girls are paid very well. Anti-prostitution legislation is hypocritical. Biologically women provide sex to men for support. Does it matter, that a man buys a woman dinners, gifts, and takes care of her children to obtain sex, or if he simply gives her cash. Both serve the same function.
I'd have to agree with your thoughts on the Royal Wedding. It was the most ridiculous media spectacle I've seen in some time. By what right is this man a prince? I looked at his family tree and out of the thousands of people that can claim direct descendecy from the Patriarch King (I forget his name), this man is only a prince due the arbitrary system of the first son suceeding to the throne. There is no merit involved. The guy looks like an idiot, too.
Also what's the point to learning Esperanto. It will never develop into a world language, as I'm sure English will eventually. So you're already a step ahead of half the world.
I don't understand the criticism of the Catholic Church. It is a religious group whom has the freedom of belief. If the believers of such a group decides that they do not want to give out condoms, why should they? The Bible condemns all sex outside of an appropriate marriage structure, so they are well within scripture. I don't see how condoms would help the Africans anyway. Most of them would not use such a thing, and when you believe raping virgins will cure AIDS, I don't think anything will be effective.
Life on the outside is just as bad, but there are a few things out here that are nice to be able to indulge in. What's your problem with currency? Without it, how would we function, how would we value the worth of a thing? A gift economy at this stage, wouldn't be feasible. A controlled economy is inefficient and everyone suffers. Capitalism creates growth, wealth and raises the standard of living. Nonetheless a social democratic republic would serve the people better, as it provides a safety net, yet does not hinder growth.
