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.

I just heard a creepy motorbike noise like it was sneaking slowly down the road and that freaks me out. we have had so many break and enters around here and freaky weird things. people stalking around teens doing evil things to my family and one night a guy was in our yard and my mum seen him and called us down stairs that she seen a man in our yard hiding behind a tree and when we went up stairs cuz the door down stairs was open and I got my mum to come back down into the rumpus room and all the pillow stuffing was over the floor as if someone had knifed the cushions and it didn't make sense because the dogs were there and you would think they would have barked so we thought maybe the dogs did scratched it out but like in that short time ?? like less then five minutes after we left? and the strange thing was another night a man came into our garage and even walked past the dog and it didn't even bark and my brother and his mate were playing on the computer and they got such a fright to see a complete stranger there. there has been nights someone broke in and opened my bedroom door and this night I made my brother sleep on the floor and later he went down stairs and the back door was open and the next day you could see that the door knob has actually been unscrewed and removed off and it was so scary we got new locks and the police to replace all the locks, I have to say I have never felt safe in this house. its spooky right from day 1 over 25 years ago and it has bought suffering and disappointment and like a bad omen to me like some ghost not allowing me to find love. that is creepy.
