2. All the while our government uses drones/etc to kill people

Things which we are fine with because it is 'us' doing it.

Mass killings by drones, fighter jets, etc? That is OK because...well that is us doing it together.

Every pay day, every purchase, we send money to the few who bomb so many....

We have had mass killings going on for years. But because it is we the people doing it with a dem president we don't talk about it.

Let's focus instead on the people/citizens and let the government do as they will. Because when they do it we don't talk about it and there is not a 24x7 news cycle about it.

Me, you...we are the bad guys because that is what we are told to believe. And the good guys? They are the ones we most want to have power and are also the ones bombing and killing innocent people every day.

I wish people here on DU were as hard on our government over their killings as we are on a very few out of the populace who own guns and use them in killings.

But then...it is not about death and such. It is about politics.
