8. Exactly, ixion. I don't understand why American lives are considered
infinitely more valuable than the lives of those who aren't American.

The same holds true in Iraq. The MSM frequetly reminds us that the Iraqi death toll is more than 4000 and counting, but rarely, if ever, mentions the more than 1 million Iraqi civilians who have died in Bush's war.

More than a million fucking people dead yet very few Americans have any idea that such an enormous amount of people have been slaughtered in their name.

Those "brown people" aren't real, actual humans so they don't really count in any important death toll.
