I don't want to open a new can of worms -which may be hard for you to believe :) -, I just want to clear up one thing. I only believe that multiculturalism will not work in a Capitalist society. That is the perspective I was speaking from. You may think that I'm merely trying to backtrack, and at the time I did get carried away. But it's the truth.

As to 9/11, I'm not sure what happened. But what I am sure of is that it was awfully convenient for the Zionists. To such a degree, that some were caught on camera celebrating shortly after. They knew full well what it meant. Let me also add that what the American media and the BBC portray as Muslim acts of terror, is in fact Muslims acting in self-defense, or retaliating.

We are also at war with muslims in which we are the aggressor. The first war I mentioned is a cultural war. This one is not. A staggering amount of this nation's wealth, and a majority of the political power is controlled by Christians and Jews who are united under the flag of Zionism. What we have been witnessing is an attempt to ethnically cleanse the Arab people in defense of a small stretch of land that is by all rights Palestine. We are doing this under a false pretense. The War on Terror. *cont* 2. We are also at war with muslims in which we are the aggressor. The first war I mentioned is a cultural war. This one is not.

Our war against Islam is two-fold. 1. We are at war with Muslims simply because they are at war with us. The Koran commands Muslims to overthrow infidel society and set up Sharia Law. World History testifies that they have done this many, many times. Those who ignore history are doomed for a repeat. They will do it again. Naturally, I view the increasing level of Muslim immigration into the West a grave threat, indeed. I feel we have the right to protect ourselves. *cont* Concerning our war against Islam.

I know that my views are rather controversial. But some of those views just happen to be what 'I' think is best for the common good. It could be debated. What matters the most to me, Professor, are the children who are dying all over the World, because a very small percentage of the population control a very large percentage of the World's wealth. As you alluded to above, good people may die. Well, I know this seems harsh, but all revolutions suffer collateral damage. The kids come 1st. Thanks, Professor.

I am bothered by the word 'luck' I think. Were we lucky to have basically destroyed native populations? I think not, but we'll never know. :) Hmmm, how about “We were able to easily feed our greed by acquisition of vast resources from a relatively defenseless native population”?

Yeah - I did omit the greed part from my analysis. How about: "We were lucky to be able to easily feed our greed by acquisition of vast resources from a relatively defenseless native population." ;) Hey Lu!

That having been said, your views are rather unconventional and controversial, so it isn't terribly surprising that people might dismiss you. You and I share a frustration with capitalism - we just have different solutions to the problem. I would advocate for a bit more regulation and a larger role for the government in social services. Although I think I understand what you are suggesting I think you will run into serious problems when people object to the system - and object they will indeed do. You have a choice then of imprisoning or killing them, neither of which I would think is a good option.
