Who are "these people"? Is it like "True Lies"; "they were all bad"? My fear (and I bet you think I'm a lefty pinko for it) is that "these people" could (and have, to some extent!!!) become us. You know that story, about the hangman, or something? "They came for my neighbor, and I didn't say anything, and they came for my other neighbor, and I didn't say anything. Now they come for me, but no-one is around to say anything" or something like that. These are our rights, man, and we're giving them up like they don't matter, compared to "safety". Newsflash: we used to be about freedom; safety was handled elsewhere. Government doesn't need to "make" things safe. They can provide guidelines and standards and whatnot, but the decisions should be up to us, sorta. It's a complicated subject, not easy to cover in under a book or two worth of content. Read the book "BOYD" by Coram and then tell me that the pentagon is about peace, or safety, or anything besides getting money for your "branch", and politics (hmm... somehow the two relate. but how? eh.). I'm slanting a bit now, of course, as good work does somehow manage to get done at times, but man, the system needs REFORM. But enough of a "looks like a leftie"'s talk about transparency in our government and whatnot. pbbbbt. =-P I propose that we make the "right wing" fools who don't care fly everywhere... but they'd probably feel safer! "hey, look, they're making people take off their shoes! America ROXORZ! We're safer now than EVER, just look--- I mean, their shoes, man! That's safety" I love poking the fake duality of left and right, in general. So much fun. Poke poke poke. Polar whats?!? Sorry, I was distracted. :] -- I thank you in advance for the great round of applause I'm about to get.
