America has the highest murder rate in the world yet it wants to export its way of life to others.

The NRA’s call to have armed guards in every school will only add to the number of people killed with guns and bullets.
The US has stepped up efforts to increase its influence in Africa, dubbed the ‘last frontier.’ Jesse Jackson, perhaps the best-known African-American today, embarked on a mission to two countries in Africa on December 1 to drum up support for political and trade links.
