Question

Circle the letter or letters corresponding to statements below that are "normative" rather than "positive."

Due to the explosive growth of the USA's national security industry since the nine-eleven events, over five million citizens now have national security clearances while the names of more than 1.2 million people are on a watch-list. The USA is "exceptional." It has more military bases on foreign soil than any other nation and spends more on its military than the next 13 countries combined. The USA leads the world in the number of suspected terrorists "rendered" and is #1 in aerial bombing of wedding parties. The mass slaughter of chickens and other animals for sale in upscale restaurants in San Francisco, California, is not food-it's violence-and every time people see eggs and bodies of chickens on their plate, they should think of the animals that were murdered by humans for consumption. The phenomenon that the USA ostensibly focused on crushing-terrorism-has exploded across the Middle East, resulting among other things in the first modem terrorist state.
