[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 525005, member: 2189"] Jim, I won't kid you that there is an old part of me that wants to completely agree with what you said and in some ways, your points are valid. However, some years ago, I began to accept a premise, principle(s) if you will and here they are. John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 2 John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 3 John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 11 John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 5 John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 18 John Locke Second Treatise, Chapter 18 Virginia Declarations of Rights written by George Mason Declaration of Independence Now Jim, as I read these various statements of history that in fact played huge factors in forming our nation in the first placed I always saw the same words over and over again. Mankind, All Men, Everyone and in no case did I come away with the thinking that these "truths" are limited to a certain geographic area made up of certain peoples of a specific origin. I think we'd both agree that today our gov't is not doing a real good job on the homefront observing these ideals but here's the challenge I faced years ago and have yet to overcome. Looking at ourselves, western european man and western european culture, where did we not violate these very principles in relation to Mexico or where did European colonialism not violate these principles as they relate to Mexico and where has the current Mexican gov't (blood kin of Neo-Spanish colonial rule) also not violated the above principles? Also, if you so subjugate and destroy a people's linage to their land, at what point does "homeland loyality" disappear and a life of nomadism takes form as a means of pure survival? The poor mexican may be a symptom and that symptom may bring risks and consequences, but at the same time, he's not the root cause. The root cause is at the top, not at the bottom! I always find it interesting that in numerous places in the "Good Book" are words to the effect, "that the results (consequences) of sin will visit (be felt) to the 3rd and 4th generations. Today, experts a plenty show how sexual misdeeds can propogate into suceeding generations, other abuses manifest through the years or how criminal elements breed families of criminal element. Smokers breed smokers or drunks breed drunks. Or Tyrants and despots breed children who themselves become the same and are so blinded by their own sin as they fail to even see it. I think the "Good Book" had a point! Amen! [/QUOTE]
