Thread Name: Violence is the American Way?
Subject: RE: Violence is the American Way?
What I perhaps should have said is that America is the only major country that has a personal memory of it's violent youth (the last big cattle drive was in 1909); and treasures it. When I say personal, I mean that I'v spoken personally to Civil War veterans and Mexican - American War veterans. And have an uncle who was shot by Dillinger.
