I hold every American, left, right and centre responsible for current war crimes and crimes against humanity. Nobody can convince me the American citizens are ignorant, powerless, victims.
Who would you have me shoot first, and what good would it do?

I hold every Canadian responsible for the fact that their government does not break all ties with the United States, complete with a total trade embargo, and a concrete wall 12 feet high, topped with barbed wire all along the Canadian/US border.

Where does that get us?

And, yes, debating you comes in second to doing what I can to save lives in my own country, in my own state, in my own town.

Individual Americans actually are pretty powerless. Unless you have a big wad of cash to throw at the nearest politician, the status quo will remain unchanged. I spend my days sending e-mails to the entire state legislature. I contact government agencies and file formal complaints. I make my town council hold special meetings just for the issues I bring up and have local federal representatives appear before them to answer their and my questions.

I know more than I want about what goes on in this country and this world.

I get e-mails from officials telling me that I am too angry and too confrontational and to please leave them alone.

Blanket condemnations will get you nothing but enemies.

It's - 3 farenheit in Colorado tonight - a tropical temperature when compared to that of the hearts of most of politicians.
