I don't know how many people here can remember how the Japanese-Americans (full US citizens) on the West Coast were herded into
concentration camps and had their property confiscated (stolen) and were deprived of their rights as citizens during World War II.
Many had built successful businesses and owned large, profitable farms which they never recoverered because these were then owned
by new, non-Japanese owners. Their children were not able to go to public schools, and schools were not provided for them, as far as I know.
This happened in the United States, and we still have not learned anything from our past.
This evening I watched Michael Moore's movie, FAHRENHEIT 911 on TV. All the trickery to which we were subjected to make us go
to war over oil was displayed and exposed. Did you know that only ONE family out of 535 families of Congressional representatives
and senators sent their son or daughter to war in Iraq or Afghanistan? Those great patriots just don't fight our 'enemies'.
And now the same nonsense because our Wall Street corporations want access to more oil and other valuable resources from
countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere. Terrorism is the same name of the game as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And Terrorism is the so-called reason we our losing our rights as citizens - of "life, Liberty, and property."
