Judge ME, not my Government

My country was last fighting the right battle in WWII.  Since then, we've invaded countries to interfere in their national politics (Vietnam), gone to war for oil (Gulf Wars I and II) and stood by idly watching genocide (the act we helped to stop in WWII) in Rwanda, for which we didn't apologize until many years later, and now again in Darfur, for which we probably won't apologize for many years to come.  We are also responsible, nationally, for thousands of drug related deaths by not making safe drugs available, and shunning drug users so they are too scared to seek help.  Our prison system exists to keep criminals in jail, rather than rehabilitate them, so their children grow up thinking that jail is just another part of life, and it means less to them.  The prison system perpetuates itself for the financial sake of those who own the prisons.  We continue to discriminate based on race and religion all over the world, helping only those who we deem financially worthwhile. I am ashamed of my Government.  Judge me, not my Government.

what I don't understand with anita is why didn't she just say "thankyou for offering to help with the sausage sizzles and fundraising but just keep doing the singing and if you don't want to do a solo (cuz there was heaps of better people then me who could have that was obvious) or I will place you where you won't feel uncomfortable on stage, when I did public speaking lessons my tutor worked with me to boast up my confidence to do my speach that I thought I could never do but I did, all anita had to say was a few nice words she should not have asked me over to her house and their childish non-sense they were going on with, they had already chosen their dash sponsors so why did she lie to me as some game? why not just be honest and open, and that was what I didn't like also about mary in the psychology. I will not lie about things, I never felt comfortable with ken and that whole situation I was pushed into by leigh and my mum and dad said "don't let that ever happen to you ever again" make it clear to people your not there to be abused not by dirty doctors or dirty priests who have some hidden agendas and fake hearts fake everything but their wallets and skull duggery. yeh anita gets help to write her music she supposedity makes it all to sound deliberately sickly fake "matey" bs! that she can not live up to as a human because she is so evil. but when you have a son of slut bastard useless ill moraled doctor or some other fake man in the middle of it you have trouble. at least anita can't say I didn't help her and her illness - my family have had spine abifita but that doesn't mean she has to be such a pig! there is a way of speaking to someone. she could have just said "I am sorry you are going through this, just keep coming to choir" she went on with all these lies about "I know some of you are having terrible abuse family problems but does she know how bad it is, how violent my sister and father and mother have been to me at times. she makes out she cares infront of people but she doesn't its all about ego and money with her. but like I said she can't say I didn't help her with royalty companions and compliements to their singing birdy! who is not so nice at all. a very nasty witch around a heap of bitches. that is why I complained in that receptionist whores ear because she has everything all these poeple have everything! I wish I could be so selfish.
