I haven't updated in a really long time. But this is something I feel needs to be shared.

Written by my friend Carl:

So my mom, a highschool history teacher (by day) for those who didn't know, lead her school's annual field trip today down to Queenston, Ontario and then into Lewiston, New York, to commemorate the Battle of Queenston Heights that

Gah. I really, really hate how my government is working to make the paranoid delusional propaganda films of the 50's seem like the evening news.

I wish people who had encounters like this had the presence of mind & resources to get the names & take pictures of the assholes who do these things--and post said names & pics on LJ, so's we could all scrounge up our people-tracking skills, and send letters to their mothers saying "do you know what your son does for a living? Did you raise him to get off on stripping & scaring little girls?"

Better yet, make anonymous calls to whatever Children's Services branch is in their area, saying the guy is suspected of an unnatural fascination with teenage girls, and have his daughters been questioned about this?

Well... This explains the big deal they were making about immigration.

I thought it was all very suspicious... since nobody ever talked about it beforehand.

I know we don't know each other...I saw your post on fisherandsons...clicked your link by mistake...then began reading your journal. :)

With that said, I just want to apologize on behalf of the 49% of us that didn't vote for him and and do not stand behind his political policies. Be sure to let Carl's mom know we aren't all ignorant. :) One bad apple has ruined the enitre lot. It's sad that as Americans no one wants to come here and we can't escape because everyone hates us, but really with shit like this happening who can blame them.

Yeah, it really sucks to be American right now. Even when I actually believe that most of us are good, kind, caring people, we still have to contend with the terrible image of this crap going on here and everywhere else.

I do think we can blame people for hating us. It's not really us, as you you or I who did this. It's extremely ignorant to assume that because we're Americans we behave the same way our government does. Especially when, like you said most of us didn't vote for him. (the 49% is only of people who voted, which was a fraction of our population) People hating Americans just for being American is, in my book, just as bad as the hate the US government is spreading around the world.
