Is anyone out there as tired as I am of hearing these types of appalling atrocities come to light but yet again very little is done to prevent it from continuing? These people we call governments are nothing more than psychopathic tyrrants and need to be dealt with accordingly! They decieve so many by promoting the illusion of patriotism and then inflame things further by injecting the public with the fear of taking that patriotism away. George Bernard Shaw gave a great quote which nicely describes what I think of the belief in patriotism, "patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it!" this is a very dangerous belief because it creates the basis for governments and other ruling classes to manipulate misplaced fear or hatred from one group of people to another group of people. Thus enabling them by aiding and or supporting these exaggerations or outright fallacys, to then carry out such unbelievable atrocities! It needs to stop! Exposing it is the first step. What is the next one? I will end with this quote by Benjamin Disraeli, "thought is useful when it motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action!"
