That it is a fantastic anthem for all the confused members of the human race. Your various points seem to be:

1) America spends more on space travel than finding a cure for disease. I believe US companies would love to find a cure for AIDS and cancer as it would make them more money - I don't believe there is a direct correlation between the budgets of NASA and Pfizer.

2) Because America is wealthy it should not have homeless people. Bow'ls.

3) The law backs the wealthy against the "people". Bernie Ebbers would probably back you right to the point where he goes down for 80 years.

4) By invading a despotic state whose main aim was to cause as much turbulence in the Middle East as possible the safety and security of the United states has been in some way compromised. How many terrorist bombings have there been in the USA since the overthrow of the regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan?

5) Never has the USA been more united never has a president received such an enhanced majority in favour of his previous term in office, never have so few disgruntled lefties whinged quite so loudly.
