Charlie Manson, Rodney King, be selective, don’t pick criminals to represent your “cause”. I pick two “older” cases, as the melding of politics, race, nationalism, and religion have created a very confused, and polarized, citizenry.
TEA party and others far right “hate” government in all forms, be defend police, even when they make a mistake, or are wrong. Far right defend government, and even criminals if it is to make a point. Both sides are equally confused about accepting facts.
“Government” in the U.S. is all of us, yet only a few paricipate, only 35% this last opportunity, and that was pretty even between “right” and “left” when this time around the “right” took only 51% of the vote, not a “landslide” or in any way earthshaking. LIke us; left, right, black, white, red, yellow, short, tall, male, female, healty, sick, straight, gay, religious, non-religious, it is a mix, good, bad, and it’s both “government”, and “people”, because in this nation, they ARE one and the same. (Even corporations are run at the top by “people”, though granted, economics makes them more “equal” (and protected) than the rest of us.)
“Santa” can be, and is, different colors in different parts of the world, or countries. The message is about giving instead of always taking, caring instead of ignoring, love instead of hate.
That message is on the white light side of the prism, containing all, not on the divisive side where the spectrom isolates all as separate.
^Sorry; that was supposded to be far left is the defend the government, though both sides obviously do when it suits their purpose. (torture makes us more secure??)

What I see in common with these individuals is that they had very low regard for others, and contributed greatly to their own demise.

Does “etc” count for the 15,000 plus gun homicides, including police, of all races, in America every year??
