Glimpse The Thoughts of Jack the Beaver
indagare and I are very concerned. Ever since the horrific attack on Paris by Daesh, their has been concern in the United States of terrorists attacks on our soil. And this is a legitamite fear, in the last fifteen years terrorists have killed over 3,000 US citizens!Unfortunately there is an even bigger danger to the United States we wish to draw your attention to. We've focused for so long on terrorists we've missed the group that in the last fifteen years has killed more than 400,000 people!
This group has engaged in genocide on the United States shores, has been guilty of propogating a culture of fear, mistrust and violence against our people. Should this group go unpunished? Should we just turn the other cheek and let them get away with it? Should we love our enemy and pray for those who persecute us?
Of course not! It would be foolish! In fact you might start making the silly argument that you should do the opposite of what this group wants rather than the right thing! We can't have that! We must always do the right thing by the United States!
As long as these people are out there, we are in danger of a violent death! We have to protect the United States from its greatest threat: the United States! We propsition that we begin bombing America immediately, starting with its capital and then going to financial centers like Wall Street and holds of sin like Las Vegas!
After all, if we're going to bomb countries and topple foreign governments that destabilize and entire region and allow for a terrorist group to form in the first place for only killing a few thousand US citizens, how much more do we need to bomb the United States for its hundred of thousands of deaths against US citizens?
Only through bombing raids can we keep the US safe from the US! I'm sure the war won't take very long and we'll find all the hidden weapons of mass destruction it's been hiding!
but we could stand to take a long hard look at the real morality, or lack of it, of our oh so vauned 'american' cultural values.
there in i believe, lies the real culpret. aggresiveness is the most harmful and destructive force in all of existence,
yet we romantacize and reward it, while giving short shrift to logic, consideration, or honesty.
(and then wonder why we should be feared and loathed?)
-C.S. Lewis, "On Three Ways of Writing for Children", from On Stories.
However, one thing we tend to forget about these kinds of things is that people in this day and age refuse to take blame for anything they do, forcing it upon the victim in order to divert their mistake onto someone else. In short, no one wants to think they are in the wrong. We, as Americans, pride ourselves as being inherently good moraled. However, we have committed atrocities upon our own people without the populous even knowing about it. MK Ultra, anyone?
I've said this many times before: very little has changed in the minds of many for centuries, just that the faces, ideas, and technology have changed. The only way it'll ever end is that we as humans stop fighting over pointless arguments/claims. Although, I have a hard time believing it'll ever happen...

Also, as you look more into history, you will uncover some incredibly disturbing facts about some of history's "greatest heroes", and how some things they teach you in Elementary/Middle/High School are not exactly the whole truth, e.g. Abraham Lincoln bring an Abolishonist (he actually wasn't, because his entire goal was to reunite the Union the USA was at the time. He really didn't care about the Abolishion of Slavery, but people today say he did because we have far different views today than in the day.) Yeah, I probably just ruined several people's view on Abe Lincoln, possibly for the next few years...
I swear, people just can't handle the truth of the matter...
