What We Need
Peter Schultz
Unless we
Americans can get beyond our delusions, we are screwed. Unless we can
understand that our nation is anything but exceptional, that its most important
issues have little to do with foreign enemies, that our nation was built on
slavery and genocide, and was expanded via war and a religiously motivated
imperialism, we are going to continue to experience domestic bloodshed and
domestic violence on a grand scale. In light of Oklahoma City, Charleston, El
Paso, Dayton, this is all that needs be said. These crimes are political
crimes, not the result of mental illness, post-traumatic stress, or abuse.
