Who Killed Vic's Wife?
Jenko’s trip back down to his seat ended with a brutal thud. A blinding glimpse of darkness forced his two knees to bang onto the seat in front of him. As his eyes began to adjust to the light, the whole of his vision locked on a sign denoting train car number 7. The five seconds after his brutal awakening were flooded with supersonic shrieks of women, children, and a baby. There is always at least one crying baby on any sort of mass transit, whether train, plane or spacecraft.

CHRISTIAN WHITE EXTREMIST GROUPS
White hate groups are all around us, in the United States we have them in all fifty states and they can be found all around the world. In America they have a long history of harassing, torturing, and killing, those who they feel are non-human. They spread their hatred through propaganda in their writings, music, Internet sites, and the national media. Using television and radio to spread their hatred, the Ku Klux Klan and other white hate groups have been seen on shows in the past like Geraldo and The Jerry Springer Show, trying to get more people involved in their movement, preying on the young who they feel are more easily swayed to their viewpoints and people’s weaknesses. Back in 2001 the Ku Klux Klan from Idaho were even invited to the farmers’ parade rally that was held in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Small town America is not safe from their grip. Racial hatred has always been a part of America; we were founded in genocide, torturing and killing the Native American Tribes for their land, and with building a country on the backs of African slaves. It’s not a history to be pride of but one we need to learn from, so future generations can change.

HISTORY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF GENOCIDE
Throughout history humans have been killing one another without mercy, because of racial, ethnic, religious, political and other differences and territory grabs. What we call genocide and ethnic cleansing today has been happening, in one way or another, throughout human history. We never seem to learn from the past the right lessons, only how to do the killings more effectively and efficiently, without mercy or regret. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the Burning Times, the takeover of the new world and its land from the Native Americans, The Shoah (Holocaust), and genocidal crimes in Tibet, Cambodia, Rwanda, Darfur, and many more places throughout the world, past and present, show the inhumanity of the human race towards each other, and these crimes will go on into the future, “genocide inspires genocide”. It seems history must repeat it’s self over and over again; humans will not get past the psychology of hate. Lessons which should be learned are lost in ignorance.

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL? FACT OR FICTION
The United States believes it has the cornerstone of human rights within its borders. But our past and present shows a different picture, a history full of human rights violations, that go back to the beginning of our history. In our past you can find many Holocausts of hatred and oppression. But we seem to forget somehow, through patriotic and religious zeal, how this country truly began, and how we have treated our own citizens throughout our existence. If you read some books, newspaper articles and editorials today you will find a rewriting of our past, a total fiction, which somehow history has magically changed into a fantasy; a mythical tale, full of lies and colorful trappings. Our educational systems also rewrites history in favor of a Disney styled world, where everything is perfect. But history cannot be changed to fit one’s need to feel superior, neither can false patriotism and religious beliefs change history, and the fact that human ignorance, bigotry, and hatred has been a part of American culture all along.
