Ooops. OK Computer. Ya got me.
I gather you are talking about our country being no better than any other country.
If that's what you mean, I must take exception.
My experience is limited; however, having observed the Iron Curtain and Berlin Wall rather intimately, and crossed both (by the way), I can assure you that our transgressions pale by comparison to many other nations.
Yes, we Americans have had our transgressions. The Bonus Marchers and the Chicago Police Riots might be worth mentioning. We could add the internment of Japanese Americans in the '40s. I'm sure there are other examples.
But somehow, the atrocities of Americans pale when compared to the rape of Nanking or the Bataan Death March, the planned starvation of millions in the Ukraine, the Cultural Revolution in China, and many more mass atrocities that "real" historians can document.
Briefly, let me assure you that many other countries have treated their populace on a lower scale of despicableness than Americans can comprehend. And the only reason we have been spared such atrocities on a grand scale is because of our control over our government (which we have lost), and our Right to Keep and Bear Arms (which we are losing).
If you want to see atrocities and human rights violations, stay tuned for the fall of the American Way of Life as our Constitution becomes a mere historical oddity.
Or help save our Republic by restoring our Constitution to its place of "Chief Directive" for our government.
