So is the cup half empty or half full? Let me ask that question in context? Specifically, In regards to the state of affairs in the U.S. of A, is the cup half empty or half full?
When future generations look back at the early 21st century, more specifically the United States, they will see a barbaric society, corrupted to enable corporations and politicians to profit at the expense of the people and their taxes. A time when the most wealthy profited off the backs of the poorest, and humanity was devided by the illusions of the puppet masters.
Still, the cup is half full, right? I say yes, but it is quickly spilling over and will soon to be left empty.
Fortunately, many Americans contribute to the continuation of the tradition of a constitutional ideal that is based on freedom and self-determination. But an existential materialism continues to grow and seems to be the philosophy of modern America and 'Western Society' in general. This, along with general corruption of morality and spirit has led to the gradually eroding of our most basic concepts... those which the country was founded on. U.S. citizens are giving more and more control of their own destiny's away to the bankers and corporations each day. While some ammendments have been positive on society & indivduals, most 'changes' that have come to our republic have usurped the power of the people. The Federal Reserve System being the first thing that comes to mind.

Even as the system grows more corrupted, the original idea of free will is understood (though percieved differently) by everyone around the world. This 'ideal' is what the entire corporate system is dedicated to take away from every single citizen. How do they accomplish this feat? Through materialism, individuals are conditioned by the media they consume; brainwashed minds willingly manipulated to become debt slaves/serfs. Materialism is a drug like no other.
Nonetheless, I still feel like the cup is half full. If the people from every part of the nation were united for a single cause, say ending the FED and Warfare, then we could guide our great nation into a future that our children can be proud of. Then we could use the money that has been wasted and feed every man, woman, and child. A schoolhouse could be built for every child and we could crown every hillside as a holy place dedicated to eternal peace.
