And I've been saying for 23 years that a country that allows that to happen cannot be called a democracy anymore.

The fact that nobody - and I mean literally NO-FUCKING-BODY - even thinks about those men, their ruined lives and that of their families, and that there hasn't been a demonstration every day about it for the past 23 years in the United States also says a lot about Americans too. And what it says is: as long as my belly is full, that's all that matters.

American Democracy works simply by ignoring all evidence of it not being a democracy and calling them exceptions instead of the rule.

The U.S. government entered into approximately 374 treaties with Native American tribes between 1778 and 1871. Then broke pretty much every one.

The history of this country is shameful.
