Ed and others: This is a national disgrace. What is perplexing are how so
many can defend this system even in the face of such obvious evidence and
and all examples and when some people hear about them, it is as if they
lived in some other universe. Either they are shocked and surprised or
they simply find some reason to excuse this behavior. When I listened to
all those calls coming in on C-Span a few days ago after the news of
torture broke in the media I found the statements incredulous. And the
lack of compassion was even more stark and revealing, I suppose, about our
national psychy which almost seems surreal.
I've asked you this before Ed. Why and how did we get to this point? We're
probably among the most patriotic people and we think we're better but
there are too many examples/incidences which demonstrate otherwise. Just
read William Blum's books on how many times we intervene for our own
interests and the collateral effects is the destruction of life and
promulgation of pain and suffering. Why would we even have to ask why they
hate us?
Michael Moore asks the same thing when he did Bowling for Columbine: What
makes us so violent? But what also makes so many of us so insensitive?
To bring up Fromm again: What is normal here is insane.
Hank
