Why should I ask any lebonese person or Palistenian? I have you. I asked YOU to educate me on Hamas and Hezbollah.
Not any Lebonese or Palestinan person. I asked YOU to educate me.
And it's not necessarily sarcasm-because from most of your statements in these threads I have detected a bit of profiling from you without you even saying a word about it. Like I said, I went to Africa, I was profiled, I was detained and interogated because of it, I'm OK with it. You can profile me all you want to it's not going to bother me.
Do we have free health care? No.
Do we get paid to be educated? No.
But this is a good thing because it generates competition for health care and it keeps the government out of my life and dictating what I can and cannot do.
And I would like to point out-it's not the US that doesnt care about its citizens-after Katrina, you will recall that we have 3 levels of government in the US. Local, State, and National. The US has an understood rule that it cannot send in federal troops to any state within the union as it is considered a strict violation of the States rights (What's the word for this Shimmer? It's escaping me)
Now, had the "LOCAL" branch actually demanded a mandatory evacuation etc and the "STATE" actually OK'ed the help then a lot of this wouldn't have happened. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell Nagin got re-elected.
As for rebuilding of homes-the government doesn't get involved with that because again it's a violation of rights and if the people wanted to move they can very easily move and why should the government spend billions of dollars to build homes on private property? If they did that it would then be considered eminate domain and the property would be theirs.
I think the US government does care about it's citizens, it gives us rights, and the ability to think for ourselves and also deal with our actions and decisions.
The US people need to be weened off of the government.
