One thing i think most people don't quite grasp is exactly how violent america's beginnings were. we aren't exactly a country of elitists or intellectuals or philosophers or thousand year cultures, we're still pretty young and not far removed from the tumultuous days of our beginnings. I'm not saying it's justified, just saying we weren't exactly founded on the noblest of intentions and have oftentimes been more violent in our expressions.
Hopefully that has changed over the past few hundred years, but i think parts of it still remain strongly in effect.
