Ted, you must have been sleeping while taking American history. Look up Boston Tea Party.......true Americans did not take lightly "taxation without representation". They spoke up and fired the shot that was heard round the world. Actually I was wide awake during my U.S. History classes. The "shot heard round the world" wasn't the Boston Tea Party. It was Lexington and Concord, which was a year and a half later, and to this day the debate continues over who fired that first shot. Questioning your gov't is as American as apple pie and motherhood. Well OK, it's American, but technically it isn't "patriotism." Conservatives often wonder why there are references made between them, and Hitler. Where are the concentration camps? (Don't tell me Gitmo is Auschwitz.) Where is the American-sponsored genocide? The American-sponsored racism? The new American "colonies" established by the war on terrorism? While our attention is being focused on these so-called "crimes against humanity," the real animals (Saddam, Kim Jong-Il, Hamas) are getting free passes. Tenchusatsu
