When the Portuguese Tried to Retain Their African Colonies

The following story was recounted to me by my Portuguese neighbor here in Brazil.

The troop of guys would go into a village and look for a pregnant girl.  They would cut the baby out of her stomach and put it up on a stick.

I’m right wing.  I’m pretty disciplined.  But you would never get me to do this.  I would probably start offing my guys if they did this.  Its hard to believe this story but my common sense says that history is full of such act. 

Think of this next time when you think governments are forces for good.  Then think again.  In some things you must simply THINK. Think for yourself.  Help the world be a better place.  Learn to have original creative thoughts all your own.  Learn critical thinking.  Learn not to follow orders without questioning.  Learn to say the word “NO”.  Vote with your feet and avoid situations you think contain wrong behavior.  

You would like to think that this sort of behavior died in the 70’s with the end of colonial independence struggles.  Give me a break. No way.  Learn to recognize wishful thinking.
