Are you trying to "win"?

With all of your respective ideologies flying around, I've had to ask myself if you're actually trying to "win". Do you have an understanding that we are one human race of people? Is competition really needed when we, as humans, have escaped such things as animalistic instnict with logic and justice?

Do you have ethics or morals that are absolute, or do they only apply to you and yours? I'm not talking about "Let's be one World"- I am merely questioning whether you all feel more fulfilled by treating others negatively for whatever reason or if you'd rather help everyone and anyone you can.

It's not a directive, but a question.

Aum Shantih Shantih Shantih

Except thats an incongruent comparison, the Soldiers in the fort were loyal to the north, and they were actually there BEFORE south Carolina seceeded.  In a way, they had squatter sovereignty, and the south could fucking blow itself, the federal troops were there first.

And besides, you can bitch and moan about how unfair the north was to the south, and what a tyrant Lincoln was, but the facts stand, the south asserted itself too strongly against other states in the union, and upon leaving the union, they pretty much gave the north the go ahead to wage war on them, considering they were then a foreign nation.  Frankly, southerners were fucking stupid, they fought a war over the principle of slave ownership, when less than 10% of the population actually owned slaves, and they would bitch and moan about how much better off the north was compared to them.
