7. Is it too cold and hideous of me

to say, sometimes, I'm thinking...these characters, these "Americans" allowing these attrocities...I'm not looking forward to them coming home. The one's that, if they didn't participate in horrific acts of unwarranted violence against persons, witnessed, allowed and even encouraged it? I think they have a new home. I think, had we been born in a foreign nation, it could easily be you. Or me. Or anyone. But they don't see that. I don't look forward to see them. I don't want to see the world through their eyes. Because they don't see humans anymore. They don't see life. They see a flag. I don't like seeing that through their eyes either.
