Where in the Hell are We Going?!

I know I'm only seventeen, but it doesn't take a genius to see how awful our government as well as our society is.  Perhaps I'm only pointing out the obvious, but I know there are so many blind people in America who think everything is just fine and dandy.  Now I don't know much about politics so I'm not going into that, but I wanted to post something on society and what should change and all and therefore the political people should change the government.What I think is most ridiculous is how much we spend on entertainment.  Why do we spend millions of dollars to watch sports games and movies and junk?  It's all the same thing over and over again.  There's no heart in it, just mindless things bobbing about on a screen.  What's the point?  So we can have a few hours of fun?  You know they'll be making more of the same exact thing later on.  I'm not saying we should go to communism, but I think we outta spend less money on junk and invest it into something that society needs.  Better things for schools and hospitals, and give the teachers better pay.  They live paycheck to paycheck while some guy makes tons for running around on a field all day.  The most important things in our society can't even make it very far because all we want to do is play.  America just wants to have fun and it was fine way back when because people worked extremely hard for it, but now we're lazy, stupid, and we don't care about anything else.  Live before you die right?  Well it's not going to get us very far, America.  We need to change ourselves as well as our government and start really using our brains here, otherwise our society will end up like in the book Farenheight 451.  It may go just a bit over the top but the general idea is there.  It's worth the read.  I'm just sick of all the pointlessness in this country; if I get enough money to move far away, you bet I'll take that chance.  Call me whatever you want if you disagree with this, but this country is not what it used to be by far.
