32. Iraq "Killing Fields." and Vietnam "Killing Fields" and Korea and Spanish
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 10:51 PM by KoKo01
American War and the "Indian Wars," and on and on and on.

We Americans are a "Warlike People." We came here all as immigrants with some kind of agression. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten out of where we were and survived. We have some genes that keep coming forward...it seems. How else can I explain it? I'm English/French/Scotch/Irish... is it my problem? Any more than the Italian, German, Slavs, Russians, Asians, etc. who've come later than my ancestors?

How do we explain why we always fall so easily into agressive behavior?

That said...it's time we confronted our transgressions. And long time since our "Brit Conspirators" confronted theirs.

I hope a NEW DAY will dawn before it's too late. But, Civilization seems to favor the Conqueror and the Agressor over the "Pacifist, Insular" who want to build peace from within and be "self sufficient." The Swiss have managed. But they are a tiny country and fierce in their managing of others by controlling them financially.

We will never be a "small country" again. But, our Imperial Asperations make me think we retrograde in time. And makes me wonder if where we came from might not be better than where we are given the "endless Bush Dynasty" where sons keep coming and they always seem so innocent and clueless yet they are the most evil of all because of their "mild, unassuming appearance" and the evermore incideous behavior of our Mainstream Media which only trashes the families of Democrats and Not those of the Republican "Heirs to Dynasty--the Annointed Ones." :-(
.

Whatever...
