Political Factoid
Most Americans believe that the so
called "cultures of death" come from
the Middle East, Central America,
or the Far East
... yet the United States
is clearly the world leader
in the pursuit and
advancement of death.
- The United States is the only country
to ever kill hundreds of thousands of
people with nuclear bombs.
- Thanks in part to the (so called)
National Rifle Association, there
are more guns per capita in the
United States than anywhere else
in the world.
- The United States has the largest
arms industry bar none.*
- The export of lethal weapons and
systems is a major portion of the
United States economy.
- Many US allies are "friends" only
because of being "hooked" on
US supplies of arms.**
- The United States leads the world's
richest nations in gun deaths.

If you will pardon an ol' Texas type
expression.

| ** |
Somewhat like so many Americans being
dependent upon the Mexican war lords
for their drug habits.
