we aren't for the people?

you should open a history book. we, the people, are the ones the government have always killed.

tokyo, hiroshima, nagasaki, my lai, haymarket, kent state, trail of tears, amiriyah, bay of pigs, Highway 80 (highway of death), etc etc etc...

The part "my high school never had many computers but they always had plenty military recruiters" is deep so true. It is known fact that the Dpt. of Veterans Affairs does NOT provide adequate P.T.S.D care. Many vets end up committing suicide, many are homeless, too many returned screwed up psychologically, maimed for life, exposed to depleted uranium which affects future generations. Need I say more?! Thanks IWDN.

The Saint Paul Police Department did an awesome job. I wish they could have arrested some more of the idiots who destroyed private property. To think protesters' thought it their right to do that is stupid. The anti-government people aren't for the people, they're against anything moral and right. I point and laugh at the ignorance of some of these. Way to go SPPD

When are people going to realize that our government does not represent the people of America. They only represent the wealthy elite who are puppets to the illuminati and corporations. The government only cares about the bit Oil, Media, Pharmcutical, Auto, Banking companies etc..etc. The police are quickly becoming the armed enemy of the people of the United States. Like dogs of war who only answer to the politicians. I fear that the only way to change this is through a 2nd American Revolution.

I'm not sure. I haven't seen or heard much on that issue in some time. I know thousands of jobs disappear every month but not much on the consequences of the theft. I did see on bbc some new york bankers were arrested regarding B&S
