Tom, and everyone else...pay careful attention...
To say that one does not like the way the USA is run
IS NOT to imply comparison. Get it? It is not a qualitative statement. It does not read: The United States is WORSE than blahdy-blah. It is simply an expression of UNHAPPINESS at our government's flaws.
Tom, has there ever been a time when you have been somewhat disenchanted with your organization? Did you say, "Well, this pretty much sucks, so left me pack up and leave!" Since your letters are in your sig, I am assuming not. Instead, you probably looked to the root of the problem and dug deeper to find that sense of pride that made you join in the first place, right? Then you took action to eradicate the problem, right?
Well that would be a wonderful solution to apply to this country's problems too. The problem is that United States has disenfranchised SO many groups and created SUCH a rift between the classes that it is nearly impossible to bring about change unless you have some sort of power. That is not to say that it can't be done, but can you understand how the disenfranchised groups are somewhat more frustrated than the rest?
Did you learn anything from the past? You say that you would welcome and African American brother in to your organization with open arms. Do you think this country did the same? No, overt oppression isn't commonplace today. But the fact that it is not as apparent just makes it more dangerous, because it is no less prevalent. Take the time one day to ask that African American brother if he feels that this country welcomes him with open arms.
