Living in the land of plenty and having much more then anyone could hope for compared to the rest of the world leaves time for reflection .
How do we accomplish this .
Is it by fair dealings with others or negotiated deals for mineral rights and the exploitation of the local people .
Is it fair to offer protection and military arms to a government that mistreats its people just so we can pump oil out or mine copper or aluminum .
Seems we exploit the worlds resources and in return offer arms for sale to those nations we wish to conduct oporations in which net huge profits and exploit the local people and often ruin the environment for them .
Dozens of American companies have polluted ground water and practiced a level of work safety that is not permitted in this nation for the sole purpose of profit .
Is it our right as a people to inflict misery upon millions around the world for our sole interests of profit and a standard of living greater then 75% of the worlds population .
So…. you’re saying you live in Communist China?

Anyone , anywhere living in any country should always oppose injustice.. it is sad and unfortunate that in some countries people are unable to under penalty of death.
We must be careful of how laws are passed in our own free countries so that our liberties are not quietly taken away!

Every one with half a brain should oppose injustice, in your own country, and around the world.

I take the view that the best way to support my country is to help eliminate such injustices and amoral (from my view) actions. I do not feel only that it is my right, I feel very strongly that it is my OBLIGATION. For those who would characterize such thinking as “liberal” I point out that the values I profess are typically considered “conservative” and are those that were taught to me a long long time ago as the fundamental aspect of the american democracy.
I can’t stand billary but sure has heck don’t find the stumblebum younger bush as anything to be proud of either.
