It's worse than we could ever imagine:

And we're safe from having to listen to Cat Stevens... ![]() Remember what happened to Japanese-Americans in WW2? Oh, yes. ... American Indians? Oh yes. Don't forget the Zoot Suit Riots in 1943. "Kid, you've got a serious problem... with your wardrobe..." (Dan Akroyd, 1941) BTW have you listened to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Gilligan "Those who trade their liberty for safety will have neither". How soon we forget. Anyway, the issue with the Nisei (Japanese-Americans) was certainyl complex, it was not a straighforward case of racism. There were fairly credible threats of sabotage and no discernable way of figuring out who was loyal; there were some 'hate crimes' against them too (although I admit locking them up "for their own safety" is a really bad call). In short there was some justification for locking up the Nisei but it certainly could have been handled with more regard for them, and reparations made *much* sooner. And the Indians? Let's leave that for another day. Sometimes the U.S. has done some putrid things... on the whole, it's still better than most countries I've heard much about. Regards Doug King |

Thru the LBJ years and before they operated a conference center cum motel in So MD, complete with bugged rooms, secret passages and 2-way mirrors. New congressmen invited to power conferences would find themselves the targets of beautiful groupies who plied them with drink and more then took them to rooms and screwed their brains out while FBI cameras and recorder rolled. Thereafter, when FDR or LBJ needed votes on an issue the congressmen would be reminded of these indiscressions. Did you really think FBI's purpose is law enforcement? Bwahahaha. If so, you've been watching too many propaganda movies. |

As I said, it's worse then one could imagine.
