So, I'm supposed to just "get over it." After centuries of murder, rape, and physical, mental, and social destruction---which ended maybe 35-40 yrs ago, now, I'm supposed to "let bygones be bygones" and sing Kumbayah. You think after just 35-40 yrs compared to 4 centuries of evil that ANYONE"S gotten over it, particularly when everyone else from foreign lands get all the breaks?


In a word.. YES.. Not like it happened to you, who are you to say anything about it. Imagine where you would be today if your ancestors weren't sold to the US? Been to Sierra leone lately? Take a look at the world you would be living in, it makes what your ancestors went through look like a freaking cake walk. You are lucky to be here given the alternative. You can always go back to where you would be if your ancestors weren't enslaved see how fun that is, give up your American citizenship and live like people do in africa. Given what you know now about how events turned out, if you were your ancestors and had been captured by another tribe and you were given a choice you could stay in your country and be a slave or you could be sold to the US to be a slave (like I said given what you know now) what would you choose? History happened the way it happened and your ancestors made a great sacrifice for you, they died for you, they were enslaved for you and they worked to get freedom for you in this country. I think people going around asking for handouts and reparations are a disgrace, they are money grubbing beggars who are trying to capitalize on the sacrifices of their ancestors. It wasn't right, but when you put it in perspective you have a freedom that without the US and with out the hard work and sacrifice of your ancestors you wouldn't have.

Hmm. I wonder how many American corporations are in Africa right now, f-ing up Africa for their resources, causing further violent chaos which was orginally caused by the Europeaons who divided the land arbitrarily and not tribally so we have the fighting that we do now. You know absolutely nothing.

You know, I think if I were in charge, dictator, of course, I'd disband congress immediately. Don't need them getting in the way. Then, with the country mine, I'd have to declare martial law, because of all those hippy beatniks who would be protesting the removal of congress.

You want to speak out against me? Stick flowers in my troop's guns? You're gonna be wearing that flower in your brain if you do. Beat it, I own you now.

Now, the first order of business would be to pave over the ghettos. Cities have some huge parking problems, and those people usually don't vote, so who cares? Then, so those people wouldn't be homeless, I'd have to start a shuttle service for the people who park in the new parking lot, and I'll have the former residents drive the shuttles. They could sleep in them, too, so it's all good. May even give them a few bucks if they do really well.

Of course, even after I killed all the protesters, there'd still be disadents. Them I would have to track down by having a huge secret police agency. Punishment would be they have their tongues cut out and become my personal driver. When the next tongueless guy shows up, I'll just shoot the first one in the head. And so on and so on.


Next order of bisiness would be to end white collar crime. I would do this by getting rid of all the laws that convict people for white collar crime. If it's making your business money, and you're giving me a cut, do whatever you want.

Ok, enough of this, I think I tweeked Colonel pretty well
