Don't know where you got the strange idea that collection of guys that don't agree,called states. We united our individual states to protect ourselves from tyranny in the world. Another ideaa we made up on the spot. You can make it up as you go,when it is your country. You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that we don't live in America,America lives in us.
American spirit is what it is called.
And killing a few thousand of us,or a few million of us won't change it. Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner. Then it becomes an entirely different kind of spirit. Wait until you see what we do with that spirit this time. Sleep tight,if you can.
