Because HappyTeacherESQ, the government and it's mouthpiece (the mainstream media) have performed their jobs perfectly at dumbing us down. I mean we're STILL arguing over whether torture IS torture...
B: Cuz there isn't much they could do anyway save violence.
C: Cuz if they did nothing would change. The same systemic problems would install a more savvy group of pirates.
Q: Why did the Germans not stop Hitler once he got the ball rolling? Why didn't the Romans toss the Emperors out and restore the republic? Study these and you'll probably be able to answer your question.
Response to A: Courage may certainly be lacking. Apathy is a by product of luxury.
To B: Fundamental laws and freedoms do exists. Tyranny that is established through law, such as the Nazis, and can be stricken from law.
To C: Too fatalist for me. There is no certainty this would be the case.
In regard how the other litany of tyrannies from the past became established, it was often through deception with an ignorant public that was excluded from real contributions.
Dear Teacher, Ah, a poet and a scholar. I agree for the most part. However, after engaging in several of these chats lately I wounder what you mean when you say, in part B, that fundamental laws and freedoms do exist. It is a strange response to my response. I agree to some extent that they do exist but I don't follow your line of reasoning. Also I would like more elabration on why you felt C was "too fatalistic?" Lastly, to your closing question: is what the USA?
i do not like that symbolism anymore ... might the shadow-groups be so nice and change it into sth new or would it take to much efforts to update all their addressees about a symbol change?
Now that you mention it...hmmm. Some of the reporting has smelled pretty tainted, especially in connection with the Iranian situation. I saw Jon Stuart today (I'm not in the US) with an expat Iranian that reaked of sophistry. I guess they're all at it.
'Terrorist'. A handy, catch-all accusation, without any legal definition, status or defence. The US spreading civilised, democratic values around the world? I think not. Gitmo is an abomoniation, but far worse things are being done outside of those razor-wired perimeters. What was Nurenberg all about?
Drones are firing missiles in villages, people are still detained illegally etc
Everything the CIA has touched since its inception it has destroyed. The CIA and the intelligence arm of the military is truly to blame. By letting the CIA go completely rogue by Cheney's approval, there was nothing stopping the brutality.
The most sickening part is how they blame the "liberal" media for exposing the crime: blame the messenger or underlings instead of the culprits

The qualifications for being labeled a terror suspect were most likely
"...any individual having knowledge of the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement in recruiting and training Al Qaeda members."
And since the CIA are prosecuting deadly force on the monsters they built, they should consider dealing with the Cheney issue, as well.

Why don't the people of the United States of America hold their government to account?
HappyTeacherESQ 2 years ago 11
Because unlike what people are told the "People" of America have no power. All the power is held by the moneyed interests.

I agree that ignorance and misplaced attention are pervasive. However, surely that doesn't have to be the case.

We need to put Bush in jail with the same rules as the prisoners in Gitmo!
No human being deserves to be put in jail indefinitely. If you have proof of them committing terrorists activities then try them and put them away!
