The Roots

If you're a anti-American US citizen, then perhaps you should see this downloadable video of an old government film. Your country needs you, because, you give a damn. Don't let the US get closer and closer to despotism!

-> Despotism @ archive.org, a film available for free download, as seen in the documentary The Corporation.

From the Music for America site:

Fact: When something is done by the United States government it is a collective action of all Americans.

Fact: In an unjustifiable war, the United States has sodomized little boys, raped women and murdered innocent men.

Fact: Because you know the above, if you do not start taking action to change the way things are in this country, you are a conspirator and are morally responsible for the depravity done in America's name.

Contrary to popular belief, Evil is not conniving. As Hannah Arendt pointed out, Evil is banal. Evil exists in the small everyday actions. Evil happens when we just say 'I am just one person' and refuse to stand up for justice. Evil comes to exist when we stop analyzing our simple actions.
