I've always noticed how people have to be "convinced" by a ruling elite that they need to attack another country or large group before they will do it. Does anyone have an example of a countries population spontaneously attacking another without government or other elite coercion?

why do the illegal immigrants say they are taking jobs the americans wont take. they aren't, they're taking jobs the americans will take for honest pay, but the immigrants are taking those jobs for almost no pay, so the employers are laying off the americans and hireing the immigrants. so no they aren't taking the jobs americans won't, they are taking the jobs from the americans.

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry

Let every Nation know, whether it wishes as well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to ensure the survival and success of Liberty." John Fitzgerald Kennedy

"If we truly cared about our children and future generations, instead of demagoging about them, we'd worry more about saving Liberty than saving Social Security." Walter Williams
"Without Liberty, Law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without Law, Liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness." James Wilson
"The object and practice of Liberty lies in the limitation of Governmental power." General Douglas MacArthur
"When the same man, or set of men, holds the sword and the purse, there is an end to Liberty." George Mason

"Liberty is an opportunity for doing good, but only so when it is also an opportunity for doing wrong." F. A. Hayek

"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
"Of Liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its existence, is unobstructed action according to our will.

"I would rather be exposed to the inconvenience attending too much Liberty than those attending too small degree of it." Thomas Jefferson
"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.... The course of history shows that as the government grows, liberty decreases." Thomas Jefferson
"Liberty is the great parent of science and virtue; and a Nation will be great in both, in proportion as it is free." Thomas Jefferson
"The equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to Liberty and the only equality which we can secure without destroying Liberty. Not only has Liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual Liberty; if the results of individual Liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of its case would vanish." F. A. Hayek
"Free institutions are not the property of the majority. They do not confer upon majorities’ unlimited power. The Rights of the majority are limited Rights. They are not only limited by the Constitutional guarantees but by the moral principles implied in those guarantees. The principal is that Men may not use the facilities of Liberty to impair them. No Man may invoke a Right in order to destroy it." Walter Lippmann
"Individuality is freedom lived". John Dos Pessos
"In its larger and juster meaning...a man has property in his opinions and the free communication of them...in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights." James Madison

"Every device to bolster individual freedom must have as its chief purposes the impairment of the absoluteness of power. The indications are that such impairment is not brought about by strengthening the individual and pitting him against the possessors of power, but by distributing and diversifying power and by pitting one category or unit of power against another. Were power is one, the defeated individual, no matter how strong and resourceful, can have no refuge and no recourse." Eric Hoffer
"True freedom has only the power of individuals; to think for themselves, to choose for themselves, to take responsibility for the themselves, their actions and their lives." N. Scott Mills

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda.
In a stinging rebuke to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman responded to questions Clinton raised in May in which she urged the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of American forces.
A copy of Edelman's response, dated July 16, was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote.
He added that "such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks."

I was given a atm/debit card by Charter One Bank at age 17 and the age requirement was 18.I've accidentally overdrawn out of my account and accumulated a bill of over $300,was unable to pay it and it's been sent to collections.I'm 18 now.But the entire purpose Banks set these age requirements is because of the responsiblity that comes along with managing a Atm/Debit card.Which I admit.I wasn't responsible enough to handle and wasn't aware of how you can overdraw your account.So basically my question is.Can my bank be held responsible (similar to how a liquor could be held responsible for selling aclohol to a minor and they go out and get into an accident killing someone)would a court of law force them to waive the fee or even pay me damages for the trouble?
