And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools.
From THE PSYCHOPATH - The Mask of Sanity

Almost any American over 5 years of age is aware that the United States is involved in war. Most, if asked the exact number of wars in which we are currently engaged, will say that two wars are underway. But how many Americans actually realize that greater than two nations are being bombarded by the United States with uranium weapons, illegal under international law?
Sometimes subtle wars are waged that go unreported and hidden from public view. These operations can even be domestic - that is, they do not always necessarily involve foreign enemies. Furthermore, such activities can go on indefinitely, and may be covered up under various project names, often with hidden agendas, carried out just under the radar, thus keeping the public in the dark for many years.
The two wars that most Americans can tell you about involve the use of radioactive uranium in weapons overseas in the Middle East. It is, in fact, common knowledge throughout the world that the United States military has been using uranium munitions in Iraq ever since 1991
www.brusselstribunal.org/DU-Azzawi.htm and in Afghanistan since 2001
www.eoslifework.co.uk/du2012.htm .
With regard to weapons containing Depleted Uranium (DU), in 1996 the United Nations called for the "need for their complete elimination". http://tinyurl.com/yp9nyd
Apparently, the UN position on the use of these weapons is of little concern to those who run the US federal government. It is abundantly clear that those in power do not concern themselves with such seemingly trifling, "quaint" and antiquated notions of what's legal - and what's not - with regard to international human rights and humanitarian law.
What many Americans - anti-war activists and war supporters alike - fail to realize is that Uncle Sam's widespread use of Depleted Uranium has not been merely limited to America's so-called "enemies" overseas. What does not yet appear to be common knowledge is the absolute fact that a radiological campaign is being waged in the more domestic, local "theatre"- the very place 300 million of us call "home".
Depleted Uranium (DU) is currently being used inside our own country, right outside in the very air where America's men, women, and children are trying hard to breathe. Those who previously had no clue about these "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" with this plentiful and inexpensive nuclear waste product are now starting to write and ask just how could it be that our own government shoots and explodes radioactive poison inside their own country - the very air that they and their families also breathe?
It is precisely at times like these when we, the sane, take a great big sigh and scratch our heads, look up into the polluted skies in the proximity of what many consider to be the heavens, and ask if someone - anyone - can please tell us exactly, precisely when did the good people of America become our nation's own enemy?
While recently writing about the serious matter of California's radioactive open air explosions, I reported http://tinyurl.com/32op2g that there are dozens of US military "test" firing ranges and National Laboratories where Depleted Uranium has been fired, exploded, and burned within the United States, right out into the open air. Some government "test" sites, in fact, such as the one in Livermore, California, near San Francisco, have been at it for over fifty years. www.llnl.gov/str/pdfs/3_99.1.pdf
How many of us knew that we were using the same poison on the Middle Eastern "enemy" that we have been using right here, on our own people at home? Certainly this was a story I must have missed out of the mouths of Katie & Matt and Charlie & Joan all those years of watching what I thought was the morning "news" on TV.
At the Livermore National Laboratory, the radioactive, microscopic aerosolized particles from mock bomb blasts are photographed emanating from these explosive "shots." This term, however, serves to minimize what are actually colossal detonations of hundreds of pounds of radioactive materials. Examine this picture carefully, if you will, and see if this photograph taken way back in 1961 looks like a "shot" to you? www.rense.com/general75/hyd.htm
At other military "test" firing ranges and proving grounds, soldiers practice using these radioactive weapons in preparation for combat. Meanwhile, collective human "dose" information is meticulously captured through the use of sensitive special filters positioned at various distances from detonation sites. All of this data is carefully recorded and preserved so as to prove to those who might happen to be paying attention that the levels of radiation do not exceed "permissible" limits.
