From BJ:
Get out of the country...the USA...if you are so adverse to it. Stop the diatribe from here, where you have freedom of expression. Try expressing yourself from another country...of your choosing. Say, a communist one.

Steve's reply:
I have heard all of this before. But, instead of "love it or leave it ", how about "change it." We have a great system that is being screwed by people with too much money and corporations with too much power. The American people are asleep -- distracted by MTV, the Superbowl and Monica Lewinsky -- as their democracy is taken from them.
Our freedom of expression is even now being snatched from us. We will wake up one day to find that we can no longer disagree with Disney or General Electric or Microsoft. Already, the mainstream media is controlled by about ten transnational corporations whose only purpose is to make more money. They don't care if people have access to health care, a place to live, enough to eat, a job or the truth.
Democracy in America is not a "slam-dunk". If we don't keep and eye on it and actively fight to keep it healthy, we will lose it. If we become another country without freedom, like Russia under communism, it will be because we didn't give a damn. It's up to us.

Los anarquistas son anti-autoritarios porque creen que ningún ser humano debe dominar a otro. El dominio es intrínsecamente degradante y rebajador, puesto que somete la voluntad y el juicio del dominado a la voluntad y al juicio del dominador, destruyendo así la dignidad y el amor propio que solo vienen de la autonomía personal. Más aún, la dominación hace posible y generalmente lleva a la explotación, que es la raíz de la desigualdad, la pobreza y la crisis social. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Villa/9430/faq.htm
