United we stand, divided we fall. Keep the little people fighting amongst each other, divert their attention away as we rob them. Buy (throw bones) the least among us and they will be happy too.

Well I'm not saying that it is. Just asking why people THINK it is.

From the answers I've gotten in this, I'm not really shocked at what I read here.

They just recently had a 7-2 ruling

Today is the 44th Anniversary of Kent State. I know I'll never forget that day that was something I would've expected in the USSR or China but not here in the US.
