A Few Bad Apples?

The War on Americans. Attacks on the Free Press. A war is over when hostilities end and people become civil again. The Civil War never ended.  Racism in America is due, in part, to the inability of Americans to end the violence of war.  So it goes on with talk of a second Civil War […]
