Jack, I saw it yesterday. What an eye-opener! There hasn't ever been an "honest" government, in this country. You only need to watch what actually happened in Boston, during the Revolution and the gradual takeover of this country from its' original inhabitants, with broken treaties, to all out force to placing native Americans on reservations, where they still reside, to this day.
All people who immigrated here, have been ostracized and discriminated against, beginning with the Indians and whatever flavor of the day, is. I don't believe in "illegal" immigration, for those, who immigrated legally and that's all I'll say on that. I also saw the American Prospect on Channel 13 and it dealt with the 60's, the radical left's attempt, to disrupt the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, the formation of the Black Panther's in 1966, in Oakland, the beginning of the 60's Women's movement, the assassinations and America's refusal to have a dialogue on race and the prison industrial complex and Reagan's stint as governor and how he tried to smother the civil rights movement on Berkeley's campuses in California. As a woman, I've never had any illusions, where most men want us. As a Black person, we take 2 steps forward and 10 back, as far as the Constitution representing us, as Americans. When the Panthers took up the gun, Reagan did his best to take them away and succeeded. You now have a NRA card carrying Vice President, who would shoot you, if you tried to disarm him, so who does the 2nd Amendment represent? Why we fight protects, those in power, by think tank appointees, elected by no one, making policy for the military and selling it through speeches, as original thought. Colin Powell found this out in the infamous UN speech, about yellow cake, which is a "bald faced" lie! People from non-profits and lobbyists groups from K street, run this country, not Congress, not Justice or Executive. Be careful who you think you're voting for; they're just the "front men", behind a "hidden" machine. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Jack Pitzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There's a great documentary called "Why We Fight" that's exactly about this.
