4. It IS very, very HARD TO UNDERSTAND why so many people DO NOT CARE that we ARE responsible
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 08:38 AM by patrice
for the DEATHS of millions.

Not to mention GENOCIDE against Native Americans and SLAVERY, we've financed DEATH & DESTRUCTION in its 20th century manifestation, all over Earth, ever since Viet Nam.

PALIN/mccain robots say, "They hate us and want to kill us" as though humans hate and kill spontaneously, just out of the clear blue without provocation. Perhaps they're right, perhaps they think that because that is what THEY are like.

It IS dis-heartening. I simply do not live in the same country that these people live in.
