No one alive in America today should feel any shame over it.

The idea that there are masses of children going to bed hungry every night is utter nonsense. The biggest health problem faced by American children today is obesity.

And if and when a homosexual ... or anyone else ... is beaten up ... the legal authorities arrest and prosecute the miscreants as best they can. No individual or group is denied legal protection in America today.

Bold B,
Ever hear of Matthew Shepherd? You're last statement proves your ignorance.
Your command of history is also inspiring...duh! correct me if i'm wrong but weren't the first slaves brought from West Africa (Mali), after the Incas were decimated by the Spanish? Their population was erased within thirty years due to disease (European), malnutrition, and overwork on the plantations and in the mines...but, hey? What do I know?
I'm still trying to connect Saddam with the 9/11 attack like you asserted.

My wisdom is totally wasted on your ignorance.
Go read some history books, or better yet, do a web search so you don't sound like such a fool. It's not for me to educate you.

Have a VERY HAPPY 4th of July!
