We're not allowed real revolutionary options. You know like people that want to stop arming dictators and terrorists. Or people that might tell the truth about our own decades of criminal behaviour at home and abroad.

Heck - most Americans don't even realise the US military secretly and illegally and REPEATEDLY did medical testing on US civilians, on US soil. Or that the US government - for years - sterilized poor and minority American women without their knowledge or consent.

If they don't know that how can we ever hope for them to know what the US was doing in other countries?

It seems we no longer care. tecelote Jan 2016 #1
