(27,137 posts)...voluntarily in the face of such a CORRUPT government. The USofA is the world's NUMBER 1 ARMS EXPORTER. We hold over 4,000 multiple-warhead nuclear weapons. We have aging nuclear plants with no where to put the waste (but its great if you're making dirty bombs). And we openly make our $$ by making wars on small countries and ripping-off other people's shit.
We now Drone-kill women and babies and then say ''whoopsies.'' We drop some money on the table, say we're so, so sorry and then go on justifying more of it as the ''collateral damage of war.'' Oh, and don't let me forget that Americans can now apparently be targeted and killed by a STAR CHAMBER of unknown compliment. And people are being asked to willingly disarm themselves to these people?
I would love a world with absolutely NO WEAPONS. I know it sounds crazy, but then I never thought I'd see a black President either. So I'll take a bold stance in my hopes and desires now, because why not? Such an unarmed world would mean that we will have evolved beyond our mistrust and barbarism into something greater than we are.
- But I think we'll need to disarm our leaders first.....
