Should I have used the word "discovered" instead of "exist"? Or am I traversing a political minefield laid around "Freedom of Speech American Style"?

I think it is healthy to pose such questions. There are millions of what ifs to be asked. Such as "What if Japan never bombed Pearl Harbour?" Would the USA have joined WWII, would UK have beaten fascism regardless?
These questions are continually being asked by professors and lecturers to make an effort to learn from our own mistakes. Otherwise we will make them again. I believe your question taken in the context it was hopefully meant is one which stimulates thought and debate. Great!
If your question asked how to stop USA existing, then I could see the issue. I do feel that people are becoming over paranoid. Its almost as if a second Cold War has started. Propaganda and censor has already begun. Islam has become the new communism and because of this we have to be monitored in our thoughts and discussion.

"They", like you and I, make mistakes. We would require a team with Einsteinic abilities to read, absorb, understand , and pass reasoned judgement on all that is posted here. Being just "ordinary people with a job to do", the moderators are subject to "rules", the fact that they are anonymous and too often make partisan judgements is bloody annoying, but understandable. More baffling still is the fact that overt racism ,`Jew baiters`, Nazi apologists, foul-mouths and bigots go unhindered on this site, while harmless comments draw violation notices.

You made someone angry and they reported you.
I do not think Yahoo actually sits and reads every question, just the ones that get flagged for "abuse".
Wait a couple hours and post it again and see if it gets deleted a second time. If your "reporter" is off line it will probably fly.
Happy New Year

sounds like part of an interesting question. Some violate just because they can. There are some very immature people on here and perhaps they are teenagers just having some fun trying out their abilitys with power in a cowardly way.

There are just some people out there who will turn you in for a violation for no reason. And my guess is that the yahoo.answer folks aren't doing serious reviewing of the abuse reports. Sorry this happened to you.

Why don't you send Yahoo Team an email telling them. It could be a mistake on their side or someone could of been vindictive and reported you for nothing. Ask them to refund you back your points like I did the other day and I had 10 points refunded back to me.

Probably because somebody took offence and reported abuse on your question. Then the random violation generator picked your abuse report out of the metaphorical hat and generated your violation. Et Voila!
I'm sure it's nothing personal.
Cheers.

People will violate other people's questions over anything.
I've asked serious questions that could not have offended anyone, or violate rules..but somewhere..someone found something wrong and reported whatever it was.
So..don't worry too much about it.

All it takes is for someone to report you for you to be sent a notice. There are a lot of hangovers out there today and they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are. Ignore them and don't give them the satisfaction of your displeasure.
