 <\/p>\n

You make the American flag in the eyes of a numerous people the emblem of sacrilege in Christian churches, and of the burning of human dwellings, and of the horror of water torture. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>\u2014Senator George F. Hoar, \u201cThe Attempt to Subjugate a People Striving for Freedom, Not the American Soldier, Responsible for Cruelties in the Philippine Islands\u201d (1902)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Come, come!<\/p>\n

a remedy, a panacea<\/p>\n

bringing life to all!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

remove fears scalding<\/p>\n

a brain and make<\/p>\n

silent speech heard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

to use this medicine:<\/p>\n

place a man\u2019s head on stone.<\/p>\n

have three men stand on<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

his arms; have three men<\/p>\n

stand on his legs. lodge a<\/p>\n

stick in between his teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ask him if he supports Aguinaldo,<\/p>\n

and if he wants a syringe or bamboo pole<\/p>\n

but remember: just have that cure ready!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

if he still remains<\/p>\n

quiet, let the cure flow into<\/p>\n

his mouth and nose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

side effects include making him<\/p>\n

swell like a toad! but don\u2019t worry,<\/p>\n

that\u2019s an easy fix: jump on the stomach,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

see a geyser spew. repeat, if necessary,<\/p>\n

even with bruises and broken<\/p>\n

teeth, until you hear the truth\u2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a confession that he was saved<\/p>\n

by god; a confession<\/p>\n

that he should have not been saved\u2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
