I am not a fan of US foreign policy either. You chose to make it your home though, therefore you should not shit on your own choices (or your parents) because really you shit on yourself. |
Government is a creation of the people, there to serve the people. Now of course you can argue that some take too much from the Government or do not contribute their part, but as a human faculty, it is not there to exist in itself; it is merely a tool - like fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Now how would you define respect? Respect in the way that you respect your war-veteran Grandfather or respect in the same way you would respect a fire?
