    Indeed so. The curriculum was meant to quash the native culture, and force assimilation.

    Wait, aren't part of these people American? So they also need to be forgiven, or don't get forgiven, since they are ?

    Oh Rob, that's such a strange idea, it just isn't rational. What country will offer that to U.S. citizens? And what do you fancy political asylum will get you that you cannot get yourself now?

    But that said (you will love this and read something sinister into it) at DH's polling work place he had official poll watchers from the UN, France and Germany, to observe that fairness prevailed. That is pretty funny, yet given the corruption in St. Louis, perhaps not entirely crazy..

    But I do wonder why you don't pursue a passport for AUstria since isn't our mother from there? DH and hiw famiis still chasing a Swiss passport for the fun of have ng ne, and possibly our nephews would like to,try working there.

    I am doubtful other nations will grant Americans asylum because of The Orange One. They got their own people, their own problems, and if they are going to accept people into their nation for asylum it'll be folks with some major problems.

    Well, if they start registering Muslims.... Or taking them away to special camps....

    I'm sort of thinking that's a low-probability event.

    Come again? I am completely not following you. The bit about being unable to forgive America had to do with sociopathic officers killing at will with no legal reason and getting away with it under the Low Human Rights Trump Regime. The next bit about the terrors felt in the 85006 due to sociopathic out of control and unchecked border officers was a new issue being introduced. I hope this explanation makes things clear. Rob

    Yeah, if they start a registry there is probably a possibility that there could be asylum for them. And if they create internment camps, then that will certainly mean those folks could have some asylum opportunities in certain nations (perhaps Islamic Theocracies!).

    But I agree that the chances of either of these happening is very remote, though a clandestine registry of certain Muslims could be created. I don't know. The world is different now. I don't think "camps" would fly.

    A lot of folks seemed pretty keen on using the "no fly list" to oppress folks before the worm turned, so you never know.

    Seems the takeaway is that it's probably not a good idea to let the government have enough power to oppress people in the first place, because next week your name might be on the list....

    So your blaming a whole country for a few bad, people in it. That means your blaming, your friends, your mother, many members of this board, and the 85006, as they are America.

    No. Honestly who I blame is the sociopathic officers themselves, thuggish cop culture which inspires this illegal and unconstitutional behavior, and most of all, the corrupt and evil police unions which encourage illegal loss of human life and that look the other way when it happens. I am quite easily able to isolate those responsible for this unacceptable disregard for human life and call them accountable. It's a small group and not the much broader brush of society that you seem to imply. Rob
