Axl says it does. I bought the album today. After listening to it, my problems are now gone. I feel like an Obama supporter after one of his speeches.

I recommend the whole thing, except for #5 which I don't really like

All of you are assuming we still have a democracy in the United States. After Bush and the neocons we barely have a Consitiutional Republic. After the "World is Flat" ers and Wall Street gamblers we barely have an economy.

BTW - China is not communist. It is feudal and always has been only the modern feudalism is based on economic and industrial factors not land ownership.

China does not need a democracy. Have you been to China? It has the best of both worlds. A socialist capitalist goverment/society that rivals the USA's. Their annual growth is close to 10%. Cities like Shanghai, Beijing, HK and Guangzhou have more sky scrappers than NYC. The American people have to stop believing what the media and our government is feeding us and realize that other kinds of government are as succesful and strong as a democracy.

I do not want a democracy because it is too easy to control the masses and deny the rights of the few who resist. We had a constitutional republic and should demand its return. China is not successful in my opinion as individual rights are not recognized. We are becoming the same way unless something is done to restore the republic.
