    That’s every American. Americans have only ever known war and destruction and it’s shown by the way you act and push yourselves militarily on the world.

          As a 50 year old adult, I’ve read that before as well as many other things that put out the truth over not wanting to hide shameful historical events.

          I’ve been beaten by cops at antiwar protests, fought cops at the Seattle WTO protest, and have proudly thrown punches against fascists since the 1990s.

          I say all this because I know for a god damn fact that I don’t support war regardless of where it is. And I am not alone in that sentiment.

          But, I’ll get to the point: placing all Americans as culpable in the acts of a government is a blanket statement. I’m pissed with a lot of the people here too, but I’ll never believe I’m the only person who stands against this country’s war machine.
