Additionally, if my understanding is correct we lost 600,000 in the civil war, some hundreds of thousands in WWI and II, tens of thousands in Korea and Vietnam and we are in the single digit thousands for Afgan and Iraq. Call me optimistic but this trend is quite welcome.

Ok, I'm no genius, but the numbers here seem a bit odd... "Some 4,500 Americans died in that war, 35,000 were wounded, and 100,000 Iraqis perished, leaving half a million widows and orphans." 100,000 is not 1/2 a million. Big difference.

Welcome to GLI. The report from "Cornell" is from its lobal Labor Institute.... From their website: GLR was established in 2005 to work with trade unions in the U.S. and internationally to help them and their civil society partners develop solutions to major social, economic and environmental challenges. A group of people who have no idea how business runs to help marxists run trade unions and help protect the environment.... Yeah--that is the group I want to cite.

No... They think we're evil--not stupid.

Its because we have seperated society into groups--not Americans, but gays, lesbians, women, men, indians (excuse me...) native americans Divide and conquer--keep us at eachothers throats so we don't notice the ugly hand of the elite taking our precious time and money.

There are--they are called Republicans.

Wow--love thy enemy was the command from Charles Manson? Really?

Not true. I think it takes circumstances like these--stark broad colors so to speak--which bring to the attention of all people the error of their ways. There will be a turning.

So two white people car jacked, hold up in a home both repeatedly raped one killed execution style on train tracks and another killed and stuffed in plastic bags is not news, but a black man found wandering a neighborhood he had no business in while it was raining an cold by a hispanic (called white) and later found dead of gun shot wounds is. Got it.

Why are they not honest do you think?
