Here is a short excerpt from Howard Zinn's The Twentieth Century (referring to the Spanish-American war):
"A volunteer from this state of Washington wrote: 'Our fighting blood was up, and we all wanted to kill 'n***rs.' ...This shooting human beings beats rabbit hunting all to pieces.' It was a time of intense racism in the United States. In the years between 1889 and 1903, on the average, every week, two Nigroes were lynched by mobs-hanged, burned, mutilated. The Filipinos were brown-skinned and strange looking to Americans...Our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children prisoners and captives. Active insurgents and suspected people from lads ten up, the idea prevailing that the Philippino as such was little better than a dog..."

"Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air
You’ve stripped away our heritage
You’ve outlawed simple prayer
Now gunshots fill our classrooms
And precious children die
You seek for answers everywhere
And ask the question 'Why'?
You regulate restrictive laws
Through legislative creed
And yet you fail to understand
That God is what we need"

crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do
things you think you could not do before.

I heard on pastor say the following:
"You may not like guns, and you may not like God. But if someone is breaking into your house the first thing your going to do is call someone who has a gun. And the next thing you're going to do is pray that they get there in time!"
