Twenty a day is considered low? How fucked up are we as a nation to not be horrified at that number? If it was twenty a day in DesMoines with even more injued and fleeing I'd bet American's would give a damn. Of course, with the near total blackout in the media on these numbers mixed with the obscenely large numbers which vary greatly helping abstract the issue I guess I'll try and be optimistic and think most Americans are ignorant instead of cold-hearted. Doesn't make me feel any better that our standards are so low in this country that twenty deaths a day is considered a success, torture is now an acceptable technique to use and giving up our rights is an appropriate method of protecting our "way of life." krazeeinjun,
