After all, our nation is committing homicide and torture IN OUR NAME and our children in the military are dying almost daily in a criminal occupation of other nations. What have WE done????
Sitting back and pointing the warm and comfortable finger of blame just doesn't hack it. Taking 'compensation' for working for those coorporattions and paying taxes to support a global war machine just doesn't hack it. Playing 'protestor' by sending email and taking a walk in the streets (with a PERMIT, of course) in the sunshine with others on a day that's convenient just doesn't hack it.
As long as there's MORE "we" can do ... and we haven't done it ... we're responsible. ALL of us. That's the "social contract" of a democracy.
