Yes, I consider any attack on any innocent person to be a big deal. I am not concerned only with myself. Either government protects people or allows them to protect themselves.
You're avoided my main point in all of your posts which is comparing issues on their relative impact to society.
I guess I can now claim that you care more about one person being killed in the UK by a terrorist than 20,000 people being killed by preventable health issues as so far you give me no reason not to do so. Is this true? That doesn't seem to me like you care about other people.
Nope I care about that too, which is why I support health care reform and a lifestyle change for most people. But surely war requires more planning and attention from government than illness does? Isn't national security the government's main job? Was Pearl Harbor in your view a relatively unimportant issue that the government overreacted to?
Yes, they overreacted. Not because they declared war and fought back against enemy combatants, but because they criminalised and imprisoned their own citizens, alienating them from their rights and patriotism for nothing else but an ethnical association. Maybe you should educate yourself about the Internalisation of Japanese americans during ww2, perhaps you will not seem like youre talking out of donkey' arse after that, and people can finally take you serious. Its hard not to laugh at a talking donkeys arse, dont take it personal.
