On the Supreme Court

Think about this. The United States Constitution was created by the States as a document that created, and then granted specific and few limited powers to the federal government. For anyone to think that a branch of the federal government and 9 federal employees in the Supreme Court, have the ultimate authority to interpret what the limits of federal government power are by interpreting the Constitution is a damn idiot!

Think about it in a different light. Imagine your neighborhood association hired a private security firm (ADT for example) to protect the neighborhood from vandals, invaders, etc. Now imagine one day ADT decides to start kicking in your doors and demanding more money to start landscaping everyone's yard. An action in which you are pretty sure ADT was not hired to do, nor authorized under your agreement with them to do. ADT makes some absurd claim that they are authorized to so under the contract you made with them, and that its for the good of the neighborhood. You and your neighbors call BS. Seeking justice, you sue ADT in court. Now imagine if the 9 jurors who decided the fate of your case, were all paid employees of ADT. Can anyone honestly say with a straight face that you would have an impartial jury or that this would not be a complete absurdity?! Of course not!

So then why do we think suing the federal government in federal court when the people deciding the case are employees of the defendant, is a sound idea? It's not it's ridiculous!

Thought for the moment

This country is full of deluded and egotistical psychopaths. We blindly label other nations full of terrorists, bomb, drone, and kill them, and then glorify and call heroes the people responsible for their deaths. Nothing is more absurd and ridiculous to me then when people thank our soldiers for "fighting for our freedom" How the f@ck is killing untold number of people in numerous countries, many of which are women and children, in any way keeping me or you free?

Imagine if the situation was reversed. Say for example the Chinese Military had troops in the United States for the past 10 years, had killed many of your friends and family with missiles and bombs. Can you imagine how absurd and pissed you would be if scores of schmucks in China were telling Chinese soldiers that their troops were fighting for their freedom by occupying and killing Americans? The answer is pretty clear.

When bombs are dropped and kill innocent civilians by the US military, those doing the bombing are fighting for "Our Freedom." When planes are flown into buildings and kill thousands of Americans, the people doing the killing are "Terrorists." When will people grasp the simple fact that both are the exact same?
Go tell the family of someone who lost their loved ones to American drones and bombs that the death of their loved one was necessary for "American Freedom." 
The ability of Americans to deceive themselves and rationalize the systematic murder of thousands of innocent people in other countries makes me sick.
