Fear and Stupidity
FDR said we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
He was spot on.
Bush has us all het up about the "terists". He's blowing smoke up our asses so he can keep sending people to steal land for his friends to have access to middle eastern oil pipelines.
Since we're all het up about "terists", the law enforcement types are told to shoot on sight.
Since we know the law enforcement types have been told to shoot to kill, we obligingly take our shoes off and stip for the law enforcement types. Then, the baggage handlers steal stuff from our checked in baggage and the TSA people steal stuff from our hand held baggage.
Kids who do pranks will be shot on sight.
Kids who dress funny will be shot on sight.
My European friends will not visit the United States anymore, because they don't want to have to consent to being fisted by TSA agents every time they travel. They want to keep their luggage, too. Its a shame, because they can get so much for their Euros in the United States.
Simpson wasn't stupid, the American public was. We're going along with this silly shit and precious little good has come from it.
