314. Thanks for the reply
I was only thinking you were blaming minority for not changing the minds of the majority. Today i listened to a interview of Tom Brokaw, he was still trying to badmouth and ridicule what he called people in the "Flower Child" movement. He rattled off all these things to try and bolster his point and in the end tried to prove it was wrong for those flower child people to oppose war because they lost every battle in trying.

My kind of math, the US is pretty much broke, our outlays, projected entitlements and payments for the interest and principle on the debt outstrip our ability to pay for it. Our GDP is shrinking, our infrastructure is crumbling and our workforce is losing to the competition in innovation and education. The reason for this is the US has acquiesced to being the global police force for the multinational corporations, just like and how it always has been for a long time. The cream and overage produced by the combined workforce goes for making more war and lining the pockets of the people who sell us the junk to do it. The flower child lost all the battles in that debate but is still able to claim obviously that they were more correct.

The moral is that in order for the war monger and or bigot to win they will have to obliterate and eliminate at least sideline everyone that oppose them. If they don't, the one's they fictionalize will eventually have large enough numbers to make there own way.

The US is wagging two separate wars with no hope or sight of winning either and debt is eleven trillion and counting. So math, the thing they want us to ignore goes on. Them guys who wanted separation of church and state were also very smart, but we seem to want to ignore them too. With new debate and more fictionalization the people who claim to be fighting for Jesus are still wining the battles while all of us combined lose in the war :shrug:
