citizenal, sorry for saying you sound a bit like a kook. I know where you are coming from but the problem I have with getting on board with the idea that there is some reason to be ashamed of our country NOW, as if there never was before, as if there is some new and special level of deceit, is that these things have LONG been going on. This stuff you are talking about with Israel goes back to WWI. What? It wasn't shameful then that some back door politics and influence pedaling was going on? How about the trail of tears and the Sand Creek massacre? How about wagon loads of small pox infested blankets... early biological warfare... genocide even? How about slavery, lynchings and witch trials?
Exactly WHEN was there NOT something terribly horrid going on man?
The answer is NEVER. There are always evil plots and sinister deeds going on. We do our best to rise above them, learn from them, raise our civil standards to discourage them. It's an ongoing struggle.
What it is not, is something new in our nation that suddenly we should be ashamed of. If so, then we were born of same and have never risen above it. But most of us chose to not be absolute in either direction. We take pride in the good things and strive to do more of them and yes, we take our dose of shame when we need to and try to learn not to repeat those things.
Sweet Willy: You are out of line. Our purpose here is to determine what is happening in and to the United States of America. Your emotional outburst is unacceptable. I am not an issue here althought I acknowledge that I am not a prerfect Zarcan. I need your help to complete our mission. Please cooperate or all of us will suffer the consequences. Our superiors expect perfection and if we provide them with anything less we will be terminated.
