I suppose some people find comfort with their head in the sand, EA Gold.
I agree with your spirit of living life to the fullest, however if you have children you may be concerned for their future and their childrens future.
A little rundown of what has happened recently:
From July 4, 1776 to September 2008, your government issued $12t (trillion) in debt to finance your nations expenditure. Examples, all the wars you have fought from civil war through Iraq war, all roads/bridges, all government programs, everything.
Since September 2008, your government has given
another 12 trillion dollars to the central banks which hide behind your Federal Reserve.
So all the expenditure of 232 years worth of nation building has been doubled in just 2 years. And for what? I do not see any new roads, new bridges, doubled space program, or anything worthwhile to justify it.
What you have seen is the central banks have bought out most of the assets of your country and many around the world.
For instance, the violence you are seeing in Greece is average citizens being pissed off that the central banks bought off thousands of their beautiful islands, that the government put up for sale to repay the debt, which was financed via derivatives (essentially a criminal market). The government was caught holding the bag, and the nation (taxpayers) were left footing the bill. They couldn't pay the enormous bill, so they sold off some of their national treasures to satisfy the bankers.
Little wonder I have no regrets seeing the government officials who sanctioned that takeover receiving bombs in their mail. They're called terrorists and militants in the media, but who is it that really cares about their country? The politicians who allow banks to rape the citizens, or the citizens who desire change in their leadership? Not saying violence (bombs, etc) is the right way to go about it, but when you get enough people pushing for change you're going to have some individuals who resort to force.

Your children will not have a nation to stand on, if this isn't halted and reversed. In 5 years you may very well become like Greece or worse. Average Americans mailing parcel bombs to Congressmen and and other unfortunate things.
So you keep living your life to the fullest, while others of us try to educate people like you who have no idea what has happened, so that when a day may come where we can make a difference, we'll be ready.
Nothing says I can't live my life to the fullest either

Why should I waste energy and time on these people who don't deserve it when God will take care of them at the end
Why did you waste time fighting against King George? God would have dealt with him in the end, so why fight for independence at all?
In England, the American colonialists who resisted King George were called terrorists and militants. Food for thought.
In my mind, your reasoning is flawed. That's just me though.
cheers
edit: oops, nevermind, just saw your nationality. thought you were american.
