Why is evolution only opposed by a significant amount of people in the US?

Yes. It would be more accurate.

Bigotry.

1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
2. the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot.

You make capitalism sound like a bad thing, but what you seek that seems to elude you all is power. You want power but spit on money like it is evil. You understand that it takes money to have power and it takes capitalism to make money right?

Who said you need money to have power? Ghandi had NO money, and he changed a nation.

America is wanting change. Why else would a presidential candidate who talks of change be so popular?

Capitalism is, at least in it's current state in America, is bad. It shouldn't cost millions to research life-saving cures for diseases and illnesses that have no cures. It shouldn't cost thousands to save a life. People shouldn't have to work two jobs, only to barely make enough money to eat. People shouldn't have to pay to have running water, or electricity. It shouldn't cost hundreds to have a baby delivered. Even basic media for the news costs money. Life should not revolve around the "almighty dollar," yet in America, it does. Rather in "In God We Trust" on our currency, wouldn't you agree "In Money We Trust" is much more fitting?

No, only a fool thinks power is something that can be given. No one gives anyone power!

What do you think an election is? Casting a ballot is giving your consent to another individual to have the power to rule over you.

But the fool wants to become rich, and doesn't know how, so he admires the rich man, and in his mind he embues him with power, which the rich man, if he notices at all, will only use to exploit the fool further.

The United States has become a land of fools, who have no idea what real truth, or real value is. Money has become the measure of all things: truth, power, freedom, security, opportunity, righteousness, intelligence, and as a result, all these have lost their real meaning and value. They have become empty prizes for those who play the game well.

We are an empty shell of a nation, devoid of our soul, because we sold ourselves out for a pile of material junk we called "the american dream". We have become a nation where preachers preach greed and self-righteousness as though they had meaning or value.

If I felt like you do, I would leave the United States and move to a socialist country where I could be happy. Trying to change a country that does not want to be changed is a lesson in futility and will only add to your frustration.

Insanity is where you do the exact same thing time after time and expect a different result. This election will be no different than any other. It is sad you all have built up so much hope this time. It ill be hard to live with you all after your defeat this November.
