In a dictatorship people are under the protection of a dictator. I am not for dictatorship but I am saying that America is less safe than other country's like in Europe not because of the lack of dictation, there is way too little personal freedom and way too much dictation in the world, but what I mean is that it is because of the lack of caring in the people, the easiness of placation of hate for others and short mindedness/sightedness of the American people that allows these things. Jim crow laws were legal. so was the purchase of a slave, so is arresting someone for possessing taboo molecules/(or)plants, so is arresting two males for holding a marriage ceremony, so is genetic pollution, so is declaring governance over a human being,SO IS... you finish the sentence.
