(To a Norwegian, about Americans.)

I just wanted to share a secret with you...


The majority of Americans are both pissed off and unrepresented.

Neither the media nor the people in government, nor the wealthy tourists, represent the majority of the people this country is populated by.


The President does not represent us. The President, put there by the real power, does not resemble us, protect us, or even give a rat's ass about us.

The real power is Bill Gates. The real power is AOL. The real power is Disney. The real power is MONEY...

and most Americans, whether people realize it or not, don't have much of it.


There are many nations in the world whose citizens are much happier than the majority of Americans.

Problem is, the rest of the world sees Bush, and Gates, and Eddie Murphy, and Britney Spears, and annoying rich people with nothing better to do with their money than go to another country and bitch about their cuisine.

Even online, people seem to forget that the majority of Americans they meet online are the ones lucky enough to have a computer.


People outside of America don't see the real America. The real America is teetering on the brink of revolution in many many areas. The real America is comprised of some REALLY pissed off people. Some are disabled, some are black, some are poor, some are gay, some are elderly, some are children, some are farmers with no land, some are women, some are even just average white guys that are tired of working themselves to death only to afford living in a crime infested neighborhood in a house with no value.


Bush is a puppet. We didn't elect him. He just had the richest puppeteers. Character doesn't win elections. Money does.


Don't judge us by our President... or our tv shows, or our movies, or our rock stars. WE are nothing like them. We're really just a bunch of frustrated people with a tattered piece of paper called "The Constitution" that doesn't seem to pay the rent, and a silly red white and blue flag that doesn't work well as a winter blanket.


p.s. - I know that you said that you don't hate Americans, and I believe you... but I just wanted to explain that Bush, although "elected" does not truly represent most of us.
