    And how many...

    ...people are being held in America's growth industry, jails, who have also committed no crimes? If this is what happens when the fullglare of the world is on your nation then what the hell happens in those places we cannot see? This crazy administration has made more enemies for your nation than any before them and that is something considering what their predecessors got up elsewhere. I remember that woman plaintively crying out as the WTC collapsed, "Why do they hate us so much?" Well lady now you have your answer, because those cretins running the US treat too many like pieces of crap whilst enriching themselves and entrenching their power. This the stark realtiy of your nation and it is sad to see. I often wonder about America, thinking is this the same nation that helped beat back fascism in the 1940s? The answer is a resounding NO! As in Israel with the Palestinians it seems America has truly lost it's moral compass. The champions of the opressed have become the opressors. Where the f*#k is Superman!
