@BluesHarp60 If we forget the past, we will be condemned to repeat it. If people thought like you as they have always been, it shall be repeated. And is. And forever shall be.

@brianl890 Well said! Cda here too! Although I'd definately feel uneasy crossing the border now with their militarized goon squad in force and with Harpers perimeter security agreement - fascism, police state - there was a grandmother held in jail cdn side for 12 days because they were suspicious of some oil in the back of her car - they thought it might be herione. No more innocent until proven guilty I guess thats the start of the N. american union. No, I guess NAFTA was.

@newf360 Not all of them - a certain segment of them, especially the ones with some power and money! The not so powerful and rich are treated with financial abuse, police brutality, health care abuse etc. I take acception to the narrators claim that human beings are innately violent and although I sometimes think that myself there are millions of people around the world including the US that could not be violent if it was to save their lives.

It's all a matter of education. Kids are being taught that America is the most righteous nation and leaders of the world. They learn the same thing at home. It's no wonder that they don't question anything that the government does.

People of America are very much violent but we paint a selective picture for the world to see with our corporate ran media. At the end of the day we are a violent nation full of criminals and those priveleged few never see the inside of a jail cell. Maybe we are doing something wrong like using others as scapegoat to crimes so that the real criminal can get away with murder at the expense of the suppression of the little guy.
