"Ask not what your country can do for you ..."

[Antiwar]

"And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

It's not the early 1960s anymore. I never did buy that line. It's very outdated. The better line for the modern era is:

My fellow environmental and humanistic Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you - demand that your government stop destroying Earth and stop dominating the globe economically and militaristically."

I wish I could write a nastygram to congress, file a nastygram with my federal income taxes, and opt out of all of the destructive the USG does.

That famous quote is really about two brainstorming sessions so I have always had a problem with the first half of that famous quote. There is no point to having a govt at all if it is not doing anything for its citizens, and govt cannot succeed if citizens do not work as an ally of its own govt. I am a fan of the citizens creatively directing the process the scope and nature by which govt determines its goals. Its supposed to be a dialogue, and not having citizens as part of the both brainstorming sessions, is stupid.

LOL - you got all that from me saying your rather wordy, and not altogether catchy phrase didn't roll off the tongue that well?

Goodness, how.... judgmental of you.

My comment isn't wordy in the least. You prefer the hollow bumper sticker saying.
