K and I watched Waco: The Rules of Engagement last night. It was sort of a last minute choice. Nothing sounded very interesting, we wanted to watch a movie, it was available. I think it was about every 15 minutes I turned to K and said, "I had no idea...(there's been no independent review of evidence, the FBI gassed children over and over and over again, the FBI continue to say they didn't shoot, the government continues to claim that the Branch Davidians set those fires)." I officially side with the Branch Davidian on this one. What the fuck is wrong with the American government? Is that question too easy or too hard?

We learned about Waco in one of my classes in college and I came to the same conclusions. Totally, TOTALLY messed up. Yet because the people involved were such non-conformists, no one cares to delve any deeper. It's appalling.
