In the name of independence and the 4th of July spirit, SEE my post 100. This is not personal, it's not about you. I know both of you are smart and sincere America-loving patriots.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX if you want to respect truth and preserve American freedoms righteously in the future.

You were taught to conclude that the Japanese camps were bad, malevolently inspired, wrong, BAD America. It's probably one of many such wrong things you have internalized as infallible.

It's not personal -- it's REALITY. Please, at least consider and mull my points. What I have written is TRUE.

I don’t know why you think I’m disagreeing with you. I’m probably a lot older than you think. I went to school in the 50s and 60s and not much was said about it one way or another. I also went to school with people whose parents were interned, and have worked with others who were interned. None were bitter or anti-American in any way because of it, though it was clearly an injustice. Again, hindsight is 20-20.

As for spies, yes they were there. In Hawaii where there was no mass internment, the Japanese-Americans worked with the FBI to help identify and round them up.
