    Great quote.

    I can't belive how well this applies to the U.S.

    I may be common people but sure as hell don't adhere to any religon or see it as any kind of truth. :) Maybe I am not so common!

    I agree....

    FAITH can be a good thing, but religion (faith put into an artificial system - what my uncle calls "det store verdenssystemet") has seldom prooved good.
