we know there's an answer but we have to find it by ourselves...

Actually, the answer, I would think, would be simple: neither. This land of freedom and happiness is for whoever takes it. We slammed the door on Britain with a big sign that says "we're better than you 'cause we're a free country", but from before that moment happened all throughout sometime not that long ago (1970s?), the English setllers have repeatedly rejected that claim in the face of Italians, Jews, blacks, women.......
The police refused to protect the Italians. Thusly, THE GODFATHER TRILOGY.
The government wouldn't declare war on Hitler b/c the President was afraid the people would ridicule a war to save "the Jews"
The People stole black people, tortured/killed them, gave them freedom, then continually deprived them of any social advancement, all the while continually killing them
And doctors - the great people who "heal" society - wouldn't for the life of them believe a woman who said she was having a heart attack b/c "she's just imaginging it"...not to mention the fundamental right to vote was rejected until over 100 years after this country formed. The Law still treats women worse if they forget their child is in the car...I read in an article that RECENT (????) science suggests the memory is more "cue" based, while people have been ASSSSSUMMING all this freakin' time that the memory is based on priority...and b/c of this HYPOTHESIS, people have been ignoring the living proof that walks among them, which I woulda sworn included me as far back as 1995 if I could have thought of how to articulate my thoughts/feelings well enough in the right circumstance, but even if I could have, people would have looked it up in some science journal and it wouldn't be there, so they'd be like "See? You're wrong. Ha".

I think aside from the laws prohibiting gay people from proclaiming their true love - which will probably be repealed soon - we've come a long long way. I find it hard to believe the Holocaust will happen in the United States. But we really ought to start practicing the ideals without exception. When this becomes a priority that has been accomplished 100%, we need to re-word the laws, and re-name this country. The Wall Of Shame is too big to make this country anything to take seriously...
