National Brotherhood Week.

All the Catholics hate the Protestants
And the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Hindus hate the Muslims
And everybody hates the Jews.

But its only for a week so have no fear.
Be grateful it doesn't last all year.

Governments have the right to treat their citizens in whatever way they can get away with or feel they 'have to do' for the 'greater good'.

You and I may not agree, but some do. Have a nice day, too.
