- This is pure hogwash- you do not have the capability of the obvious.
- In general we borrow ideas from many different philosophies. The
- US is not built on one viewpoint or philosophy, it is a structure
- made up of borrowed components- just like language.
-
- So I guess if we treat people fairly- e.g. do not discrimate against
- them because they are black, jew, mexican, or even white, then this
- will lead to nothing more than mass murder and horrendous violations
- of rights.
-
- There has been this discussion going on by certain poster(s) about
- labeling and sloganism, and I believe that the poster(s) are actually
- guilty of the same.
