Contrary to what many of you believe, the United States isn't the "Great Evil" that your conspiracy materials and tin foil helmted friends would
have you believe. Every government on this Earth is guilty of the ill treatment of it's people, over taxation and corruption. The only true saddening
thing here is that it doesn't matter what silly material is set down in front of many of you...many of you believe it without question.
The above statement is both moot and foolish. If by your own admission "every country does it" that makes it better or more socially acceptable to
you? I think you've lost touch with your internal humanity. Just because many countries are guilty of injustices, which nobody on this thread stated
otherwise, does not mean that it should be tolerated, or forgotten?
Remember that.
My grandfather used to say that each generation goes by bitching about their ills but they never take the time to try and make a difference. My
question posed to many of you in this post is...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR HUMAN LIFE?
I can't speak for others on this forum, but you'll damn hear from me about my personal experiences. When I was younger, I too served my country. 8
years as a U.S.M.C. Counter-Intel Officer. We did things that most of the country to this day takes for granted. And we did some down right rotten #
to others too. Many servicemen were also treated poorly, even if they were unaware that it was due to the government, *their government's*
involvement.
I also know what it means to strive for perfection in your duty to defend this country, it's citizens, and maybe most importantly, it's sovereignty.
I know what it's like to watch my country change, become more fascist, and have more and more laws, and less and less freedoms. Assumptions of most
anything are foolish.
Remember that.
While the government shows disregard for human life, what do you do to raise the quality of those human lives? Surely sitting on a message board
posting isn't feeding the hungry.
Personally, I can say I've done much for my fellow man, and while I think I could have and should have done more, any true patriot would feel the
same way.
And in a way yes, sitting on a message board is feeding the hungry. People are starving of many things, morals, character, motivation, decency, even
understanding. I come on here and I try to serve up a nice plate of truth with all the fix-ins to any and all who have the desire to listen and/or
discuss with me, so that we may find the entire truth together.
There is truth in "No man is an island" in many aspects of life, conspiracy is one such aspect. Those with understanding must realize it's their
duty to speak out, to be heard, and to help others who are willing to listen.
"United we stand, divided we fall." a fundamental truth lost on many persons it would seem. And yet we still have "John Wayne" "patriots" such
as yourself running around with blinders on, and giving people lectures to ensure you sleep a little more sound. Sorry to tell ya, but persons with
closed minds will fall for anything, persons with open minds will give anything a chance, and move on, all in the process of learning.
What was the motto here again? Do you know? Oh that's right, it's "Deny Ignorance". Remember that.


Good luck to you, friend.
