oh yah.. i've been to most of the place you mentioned. san jose is a hell hole at least it used to be. altlanta is a crazy place. but after you leave those areas it isn't as bad and there are alot of nice areas. some areas are really divided and you can go from a slum to a nice area in 30 miles. the point is there's infrastructure and most people are not making a buck a day like a 3rd world country. there's always a way to eat and a way to make it. crap so many are on wellfare and just rely on government programs but they complain. try that in a 3rd world country and they would just let em die of famine.
You're absolutely right on the money! The United States would NEVER, EVER traffic in human beings or be involved with something as vile as slavery. Good point.
edited post. read the poll carefully. it is about the US being bankrupt financially. Its about the US needing a financial bailout. these are financial attributes of 3rd world countries. attributes ie collapsing financial institutions , long term decline in the value of currency and government lying about the rate of inflation.
