...for all you think wonderful, right, righteous and politically correct AND BEFORE YOU POST ANOTHER RESPONSE ON THIS FORUM OR ANY OTHER:

Please reconsider your thoughts and feelings towards the programmed, indoctrinated and propagandized portion of AMERICAN citizens that are human beings just as you and I are, but have fallen into believing all that they have had fed to them. These "gullibles" as I tend to think of them, were and are being fed a very real diet of propaganda, indoctrination and programming to develop opinions, thoughts, belief systems, specifically and scientifically targeted at them to influence them.

These human beings, these American citizens, these people, are friends, former friends, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles, grandparents and even children, make up a significant portion of the American population. If we ignore them, if we consider them to be "the other", the "enemy" and not worthy of help, of love, of caring, of compassion and empathy, then the great experiment of democracy that is these United States States of America will forever be damaged, divided and ultimately, destroyed.

The US Civil War was fought over the very real issue of slavery of other human beings and all the attendant industries in support of slavery. Every single soldier that died in that war was an American Citizen, regardless of the color of their uniform being blue or gray.

Today, the USA, is just as divided as the US was in the 1850s and 1860s. But, instead of divided by state borders, we are divided by house walls, fence lines, manicured lawns, railroad tracks, overly developed municipal areas and under developed municipal areas, city limits or boundaries. For a few years, maybe decades, we were not divided, out of 246 years of this great experiments recorded history.

If WE American citizens really believe in the ideas put forth in the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Amendments made to the US Constitution, if we are to truly honor all of the blood spilt in defense of an IDEA, a CONCEPT, a hope, a vision, and a future worthy of our children and their children, then we must rise above these divided times, reach across the aisle, fence, city limit sign, and engage, help, care, love, show compassion and empathy and prove to all of the world that the idea of a human democracy is the beacon of hope for all human beings to aspire to.

If you are of the Christian faith, then turn the other cheek and embrace Jesus's positive, loving, caring teachings as written in your bible. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Help your friend by being a friend. Reach out a hand to help another human being up, back on their feet.

But, please, I beg you don't treat, call, term American Citizens as "the Enemy". There is no future in that for any of us because WE THE PEOPLE won't survive it.

If I can influence a reader or two with this posting, and they can influence a few more, then maybe, just maybe we can find a way to "pay it forward" and not "hate your neighbor" or "cheat a friend". I don't want to be One Tin Soldier. No single human being can.

Please don't respond. Just share the ideas presented here. Act on them and encourage others to do the same.
