Just as an addition to what you've said.
America has been exceedingly slow in discovering the helping hand it lent in the holocaust. There was a discussion on cspan last night with an author who has done extensive research into this subject. I suppose most people on this forum know about this. I think we all know about how the IBM punch cards were programed to account for all of the atrocities. But it goes much much further.
And I mention this because it shows the two faces of this country. It's hard for me to believe that we would help the enemy, and then fight the enemy, and then pretend that we had defeated the enemy.
But when you think about it, is that not exactly what we've just done again? Rumsfeld shaking hands.
I also mention this because four years, or all of eternity, probably isn't the cure. And I often bring up population as an irritating factor. But the span of time has shown that we were doing these things before there were seven billion. I don't think time is what is required for the change.
I believe there is a combination of things that must be, or we end up where we have an evil vein within our government. It has to do with large amounts of money. Corporations. And that pretty much translates to large numbers of people giving small amounts of money to one recipient. Each of us buys a few things that have some of Monsanto's stuff in it. It doesn't seem like much, but Monsanto rakes in huge quantities. In a way, population is aggravating the situation. There are more of us to contribute our little piece, in order to feed the monstrous companies.
Much of this boils down to fear and need. Sorry, I'm half awake and posting all of this crap. :) For all I know, it's all bs. No, it is about having one company do stuff for us. I want to spend my time doing something other than making soap, bacon, weeding a garden without herbicides, keeping insects off my plants without insecticides... And this is why I've said that there was a time that was best, and we passed it by. Civil rights have progressed, but the mechanics of living have turned into a monster. The monster that feeds us all. And eventually holds us hostage.
