USA: Shooting for the Stars?

Post by Naga_Fireball »

The concept of self defense.
The concept of civil rights.
The definition of freedom.

Such simple things, yet impossible for any two people to define in the same way.

What is the pursuit of happiness in modern America?

Why are so many young people opting out of the American dream to make a point others can't understand?

What are we trying to prove by all this violence?

...

One nation under God?
Yet so many young men think they have the right to play God with other peoples lives.

How did we come so far from self defense, civil rights, and freedom, to where there is open war in our own streets?

Do we love violence more than we love God?
Rome would exist today if they had only learned to strike a balance between the enjoyment of creation and the enjoyment of death.

Fellow Americans and friends, please reconsider the awful path we have taken thru the valley of the shadow of death.

We were supposed to be the city on the hill. Just like the preacher said last Sunday. We are supposed to set an example.

If we cannot value human life on foreign shores, however, we cannot receive joy or value our own lives.

Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
