Joseph, if your statement holds water...then Viet Nam vets and their families have every right to sue McNamera and Johnson, and the entire Congress at that time (which I believe was entirely Democratic....) This is not just a rant....our Government DID NOT support our Military....they just sent them in to fight with little or nothing to do it with. My position is that the government can bear responsibility for its past action. My position is that the government can bear responsibility for its past actions

The government is a collective group of political cronies who shoulder neither individual responsibility nor guilt. Sure they pass along self-serving tax-giveaways and interestingly, vote themselves pay raises at the same time. Such misuse of tax dollars, earned in the course of honest labor by most Americans, is in itself slavery. If one feels racial shame, then that individual is free dispense his own earned income to make peace with whomever; but, it is immoral to demand that others share their irrational racial guilt. "Fuzzy logic" surfaces again. Do you really think any give away program could quench Louis Farrakhan racial hatred? Come on, without racial strife old Lou would have no purpose in life. To change the topic -- I notice ignored my Dartmouth-related comments. I wonder what department you are in at Wisconsin.
