Anybody read Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas? I'm about halfway through it now and I find it very interesting. Druid you're from Kansas right lol.
 No, but it really is a thought-provoking read, something I think everyone should try and muscle their way through.*I know this isn't about the War on Terror but it deals with politics so I thought it would be relevant. This post has been edited by Blakjak: 06/27/05 4:55pm --------------------  |

one other thing if i lives in japan and the war happened and i was put in an internment camp (like the ones we had) i could accept the fact of leave or be put up and away till the war ended...i can accept that fact not like we treated them horrible and beat them with shoes...long as i wasnt being stuffed in a oven...*ahem*

Personally I think that the difference between relocation and internment is like the difference between forced exile and prison. Still, I suppose we could safely posit that 110,000 Japanese-Americans were removed from their homes against their will, whether they were relocatd or interned.
Not that I'm really arguing with you guys, I think we can all say, with the exception of Silver, that relocation was a pretty horrible thing, even if it did produce marginal benefits (if they can be called even that). And Silver, if what you said is true, QUOTE(Silver) one other thing if i lives in japan and the war happened and i was put in an internment camp (like the ones we had) i could accept the fact of leave or be put up and away till the war ended... then you're a panzy for allowing your country to treat you second-class. |
