Platt:
you said:
The really horrible idea is unwillingness to defend freedom from those
willing to plunge the world into a dark age of totalitarian horrors.
Fortunately, most Americans are willing risk their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor to defend liberty--or have you never read the
Declaration of Independence?
I read the Declaration of Independence back in 8th grade and took my test and
all, so im familiar with it. But im not talking about 200 year old American
ideals, im talking about the present day. Totalitarianism is still rampant
and there is little done about it. You know about the Hutu and Tutsi
massacres in Rwanda, where one time 500,000 people were slaughtered with
machetes? I wouldn't expect you to, because Americans weren't involved with
that one. In fact, the only time Americans have recently been involved with
giving their lives for sacred honor and the restoration of liberty was when
we fought sadaam to keep our gas prices cheap. Don't get me wrong, i love
this country, but i think that there is a pervading attitude among many
people that our lives are worth more than the lives of others.
