Best summers anyone has ever had? Ummm… #23 are American citizens being held in an internment camp because of they are Japanese. Yeah, that must have been a GREAT summer. Gov’t comes to your house, takes your stuff, sends you and your family to live in a prison for a few years. Good times, good times.
