Just ONCE, could we ACTUALLY PROVE we are human rights',...

,...advocates on a world-wide scale? Just once?

Geez.

Seriously. Our country has completely lost credibility on the human rights plato.

Illegal war. Torture. Death penalty. Civil/human rights diminished. Constitution ignored. Truth defied.

God, I feel so sad for this nation. We are lost.

What have we become?

Damnit!

,...damn,...

3. many years ago, SPY magazine had a wonderful artcile showing that we

were, even then, trading places with the soviet union--this was back in about '79, so it turns out to have been amazingly prescient.

4. I guess that I am just,....disappointed,....

...after all the shit we have struggled through over the last century; our accomplishments are being spat upon by a "leadership" and constituents that NEVER DESERVED OR EARNED the HONOR associated with positions of public SERVITUDE they are obnoxiously abusing. They are the ones who should be at the mercy of "justice's" scales.

They exploit.

We will prevail as we always do.
