Paul Harveys words on giving smallpox infected blankets to Indians
Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and into this continent by giving small pox infected blankets to native Americans.

Yes, that was biological warfare!

And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever. And we grew prosperous.

And, yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves.

And so it goes with most nation states, which, feeling guilty about their savage pasts, eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded, and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry and up and coming who are not made of sugar candy.

3. Yep, I listened to the linked broadcast
and this * tries to justify the loss of ethics to dominate.

If it were a case of do or die and the threat were imminent we would have to decide and weigh all options,but we are in a strange land of war that Bush Co. and mass cowering has made.

No push to leave law and ethics behind for a power move can be tolerated by a just society.

I believe we are a strong and just society. Do you?

4. What Paul Harvey fails in his limited ability to see
is it is those who "are not made of sugar candy" that perpetuate the cycle of cruelty and stupidity and mass tragedy because of the inhumane way in which they treat others.

No Mr. Harvey, you are not "made of sugar candy".

You are not even equipped with the slightest indication of human compassion.

You are one of the insulated, bloated, overindulged, spoiled, white insulated privileged white males that has allowed to take, grab, hoard, steal, lie and never say you're sorry to those whose lives you've ruined. Even if you did say you were sorry you wouldn't mean it.

You try and pawn off the social Darwinian theory by saying it's been done by those who arent "sugar candy" and it will continue to.

There are plenty of white folks like me that have had it with white folks like you and others trying to control and take everything from everyone else.

Yes, as long as people like you are allowed to behave in such a manner, and as long as people don't stand up to you and stop it, then you will continue to breed more hatred and tragedy and horror in the name of not being "made of sugar candy".
