113. What planet of ignorance did you bloom on?
From Soviet Russian to Pol Pot was a part of our reality. Racism to the extreme to the fact people could not even vote, and women in the 70's could be committed to asylums just on the word of their husbands..

Where were you when we fought all those battles?

How much blood did you spill for the vote, for the right be a fully recognized person?

You can lay a lot of blame for a lot of things at our doorstep..because there is just so damn many of us, we have been hard on the environment, economy etc.

But you better get your facts straight before you start with where we had to battle out of in a real world that sent out high school seniors to war without question.

That deprived people of even drinking out of the same water fountain.

That had women who could claim full freedom as people as long as they had their husbands permission.
