RE: The Scottish Thistle ~ Art By Red Dust
My father's mother's father came to America. That was back in the early 1800s ...can you believe that? Great Grandpa Waddell left Scotland because there was no way to make a living and raise a family when one comes from a poor family. Grandpa Waddell settled in the wilds of Idaho State and out of the wilderness built a farm and raised a healthy family. I don't want to forget where my Great Grandpa came from or why he came to America. I think people don't understand American's fierce independence and our love of freedom until they research the history of the world and realize America was an experiment giving freedom to live as one wish as a common person. We are now in the middle of fighting a war for the freedom of the common person again. I can carry a firearm as a woman to protect myself. Very few places in the world allow that kind of freedom for any common person let alone a woman!
I have seen a little of the history of America. Perhaps your grandfather came during the British colonial period to America and he and his family settled there
Security and security do not know their security value, they are sure to always hear about the cases of killing and slaughtering in America
Do the majority of people have licensed licensors will be a mess.
We are forbidden to carry weapons.
We live in security and safety
Safety given by authority can also be taken by authority...look up the word democide, the biggest mass murders in our time is the state...especially communist or socialist states....

America’s second amendment is for the right of the common people to protect their life, liberty, and property.....freedom is never given freely and a free people know there is no such thing as a government that provides safety without taking away people’s freedom.
America has contributed to the destruction, destruction and displacement of the peoples of the group of the most recent state of Iraq and Afghanistan to Afghanistan. Shoboub destroys the pretext of protecting the American people.
The ideal society and world peace is something that the Great Aqueduct brags to serve its interests only
All the nations are eager to achieve world peace and all the wars we have known have been for the sake of the unity and peace of the world, but all these wars and all the many peace agreements that have been signed since the beginning of history have all failed because peace can not be imposed from outside. Inside. That world peace begins with individual peace. The individual is the unity of society and when the individual enjoys internal peace, the world peace is automatic. The green forest is all green
I know of no government that wants peace nor do corporations, they all make their money off of people's suffering. All the worlds governments work for corporations and institutions that make their money from drug running, managing welfare and poverty, white slavery, arms sales, stealing labor and natural resources.
The American government has contributed as well as other governments including the governments and players within the states. Most American's want our military to come home and the money saved and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. But America is not Afghanistan and that's what I was talking about, democide is a government killing its own people. Our second Amendment is there to protect the people from the government.
But you and I both know that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and other places have to do with oil and power and nothing to do with the common people who fight these wars, we are born and bred like cattle to be used and thrown away....
All the Americans I know don't want these proxy wars and no matter who we vote for they continue. Afghanistan has been at war with itself and all it's tribes forever ...
The countries ethnic groups have been fighting each other forever..... The Pashtuns are Afghanistan's traditional rulers make up around 52 % of the population. The Hazaras are 19 % of the population. The Tajiks up north make up 21 %; Uzbeks, up north, 5 %, 85 % of Afghans are Sunni Muslims, and about 15 % of the Hazaras are Shia Muslims.
I've studied a little bit about why all our taxes have been used for wars rather than staying here in America to work for its people.

Frankly, the discussion with you is interesting and we benefit from it. This is the role that other social media did not play.
Thank you for your support, which I need
Manshuri These days devoted to some drawings and judgment and preaching about love .....
The people have the ability to overcome their conditioning from all the wars and poverty we have all suffered from for generations. Governments, corporations, institutions are soulless entities and cannot love or have empathy.
If you follow the money trail, all the big transnational corporations and banks, the governments and their NGO's all make money from our suffering and they will never stop sewing the seeds of poverty and reaping the rewards on their own.
Most Americans don't read and research, but over the last ten years I see more and more Americans and people around the world waking up. Most people believe everything their government and media tell them and get lost in the endless digital amusement park built to make us mindless zombies. Many of us don't use the internet for entertainment, we use the internet to gather information and learn, we don't become mindless zombies...
Hopefully places like steemit grow strong and stay free for all our different views and we can have civilized arguments and discussions. I am pretty sure most people around the world have more in common with each other than they do with their ruling class and governments.
We have a picture of the American community community living in bliss every available Xi has a health education job ....
Good infrastructure
If I heard this talk from someone else who does not live in America, I will not believe it.
@klasanaj, America is huge, our industrial complexes have collapsed, that was our wealth, the industries moved to China, cheap corporate taxes, cheap labor, and cheap natural resource countries.....
Detroit is an example of an industrial hub that collapsed when business moved their industries out of America and thus happening all over America. We are trillions in debt and waging proxy wars all over the world that cost us trillions.

There are places in America that look like war zones and places that do look like paradise. Over in the state of California we are suffering a homeless problem in the big cities. The homeless are camping where they can and are shitting all over the place and now the cities are suffering from Hepatitis outbreaks. Just like what happened in the History of Vaccine articles I wrote about when the poor had horrible living conditions.
The community I come from were small farmers and business people. We have been displaced by corporations like Amazon and Walmart and huge factory farms. These huge corporations have destroyed stable small town economies.
The cities are not being upgraded whilst immigrants flood into them and don't have the education to find work.
Our infrastructure is rotting away as our taxes are spent on a huge military complex and social welfare programs. There are less taxpayers to foot the bill because there are less jobs to be had.
This is one of the reasons why many voted on President Trump, lower taxes, bring our business home, support smaller business and reduce our debt. I didn't vote for Trump, I like Ron Paul, but hopefully he is a business man and can bring business and jobs back to America so we can pay off our huge debt and support our huge welfare programs.

When immigrants come to America now they will be put on welfare and given housing but their ability to find work if they are not educated is extremely limited. Right now in America we are walking a fine line, a razors edge regarding the collapse of our economic markets, housing markets, energy and farming grids. Don't believe what you see on TV...
Compared to the rest of the world America is rich but we have overspent through our social welfare and military budgets and have no reinvested back into our country and soon we shall see extreme poverty like in the third world. Some places in America people are experiencing third world poverty right now.
