re:re:it inflames me as well
ok, ya know sorry if it is a diatribe to you. My solution is to help people.
My solution is to actually do instead of say. You say that other countries
are full of problems as well...true but we live here and not there. I can't
comment on their problems. If I'm self-righteous, so be it...I'd rather be
passionate about something and try to make a difference instead of going
along with something I don't believe in. And did I go on about my rights
specifically? No. This country is racist still. That makes me angry. I
propose we screw war and give food to the hungry, and beds to the homeless.
That's my idea. And yeah, it'd be nice if our government could spend as much
money on domestic social programs as it does on the defense budget. And while
we can't as you say "be held responsible for the atrocities committed several
hundred years ago" I can point to the fact that many of those atrocities
still carry over today. It's hard to have faith and pride in the dead white
guys we all learned were so great in school when they founded this country on
the explotation of others. We can do good things but only if we forgo bombing
and waring. How are we going to drop humanitarian aid to people and be
dropping shells as well? This irony is too much for me to bear.
