[WS:] Good question. I used to be against throwing such labels at the US, but lately something just snapped in me. There were several precipatating factors, I suppose - the Democrat support for Bush's war policies, right wing populism in Democratic primaries, popular capitulation to the oil lobby when gas prices reached $4/gal, the inability to learn anything but "give us more handouts" from the housing market debacle, my recent visit to Germany .....
I think Amerika is like an outhouse - it stinks very badly but people who stay inside get used to it and do not realize how bad that stench really is until they get out and then come back.
