It’s the shifting of the blame I can’t stand. A good example is New Orleans when Katrina hit. Most of the people that complained about the government not doing anything were the same people were warned that a storm was coming that would flood the city. These same people decided by them selves to stay and wait it out. Yet they complain that the government didn’t do anything. Then they needed money, new homes, and new jobs??? What the heck is this all about? I then look at Denver Co. that winter got a bad snow storm. They got over 9 feet of snow. I don’t remember them complaining about the government not doing anything. They dug them selves out and went on. We can also look at the racism issue. The only people that keep racism alive are the ones that think every one else is racist. The voice of the people needs to stand up together. It’s a proven fact that a man takes 100 people hostage with a “Knife” only 2 people will stand up to him. The 98 others will do as he says. It doesn’t matter that they have him out numbered or that he only has a knife, its just human nature. It’s my opinion but things will not change. They will only get worse. Things have gotten bad when 1 man can remove the 10 commandment from a court house because he doesn’t believe in god yet he is willing to use money that states “in god we trust.” He took away 100’s of other right to see the 10 commandments yet they said nothing. I was glad to see your words Linc. There are not many who stand in the 2% range.

Racism here in the USA is funny, mainly because there were slaves in Brasil as well and my great grandfather lived through the end of it. I think around 3 million slaves were brought to Brasil and far less to the USA and in Brasil we don't have much racism like here. I agree with you 100% on what you said.
