We Americans  sometimes express unusual devotions and priorities. We display almost flippant disregard for human kind, if it does not fit into our social and political alliances.   Two  American activities this week allowed us to portray our Super power callousness.  On one hand the Congress provided us with an opportunity to nationally and politically cry to stop the slaughtering of our young men and women in the worst military disaster since July 4th 1776.  Congress sought to find a glowing expose' of the men and women in Congess who cared less about the military, if their activities are not winning and  favorable for exploitation.   You did not hear on the talk shows, Americans overwhelmingly calling and berating their Republican Representatives for not taking positive action to stop the destruction of Americans in Iraq.      But on the other hand you heard a chorus of hurt Americans crying in pain about the destruction of pit bull dogs, by dogfighters , that Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick  and others are accused of supporting  and encouraging.   The bottomline...... We care more for our dogs  than a human being (even our neighbors being killed in Iraq) if that human being is not satisifying our anticipated outlandish mad dreams. The International community, the lower income groups and ethnic minorities always record the disdain with which  we treat people generally, knowing they could be next.
