Futile Complaints

I read several articles today, mostly about the state of affairs in different countries and it made me think of how trivial my problems are compared to the rest of the world.

In several parts of Africa populations are experiencing genocide, the lowest level of the caste people in India are under extreme sanctions and not allowed to change their religion to escape being part of the caste system. The Mexican "guest workers" are continually ripped off by so called "job recruiters". It's not bad enough that they are so much worse off than I am, that they want to come to this country just to try to survive because they can't in their country.

And I wonder - Should I really be complaining about how bad I have it, that I have to fight my own corrupt government for my disability. Should I be complaining about how crappy my subsidized apartment is and how I have to fight the utility companies.

Some of these people in other countries are lucky if they can make it through the day without being slaughtered, or beat or robbed blind for some of the opportunities that I have had.

You know what, I deserve the right to bitch about any damn thing I want, any time I want. Because I live in America - the "so called" greatest country in the world.

The US is just as good at ignoring their own citizens as any other country. As long as the "corporate" elite keep raking in huge profits at the expense of the lives of the pathetic slaves that keep them going - who gives a shit?
