   You would be at least half-wrong in that.   
   Ours is a government OF the people.   
      
   You can't attribute something to our government without acknowledging   
   that it is a trait shared by the people.   
      
   Folks like us - we grow up thinking that it's wrong to hate and kill for   
   our deity - be he Hari Krishna or Cosmic Muffin.  But as the last few   
   years have demonstrated - many did not enjoy such a virtuous upbringing.   
      
   For example, Here in Dallas, we have a particular problem with our   
   thousands of Catholics and tens of thousands of Methodists.  Many to   
   most are raised to hate just about everyone.  And that's how they, in   
   turn, raise their kids.   
      
   This ain't new - this shit's been going on for many, many generations.
