The Population of the 13 colonies in 1790 was 3,929,214. (4 million)
The Populaton of America today is 300,000,000. (300 million.)
(Still with me so far? They way they do it is make people too retarded to even know that the 13 colonies=America.)
The number of victims of the world trade center was 2,606.
If you calculate the ratio, that would be the equivalent of 34 people dying in 1790.
A couple Native American tribes were like the “terrorists” of 1790.
So imagine this scenario. Imagine, in 1790, a Native American tribe killing 34 Americans. This sends the American people into a panic. It is forever hailed as a day of silence, a “day America would never forget.” A national emergency is declared. The war on Terror begins. The government destroys the constitution and gets rid of the bill of rights. Government agents read and spy on all people’s mail, and carrier pigeons communications. Government agents are entitled to unreasonable search and seizures of your home, and all incoming immigrants and people leaving the country are subject to unreasonable searches and prevented from bringing in personal weapons from overseas. All because 34 people died one day. That’s 0.00001 percent of the population.
Do you see how absurd this is? Americans have turned into a bunch of irrational lillies walking around with knee jerk reactions.
