Support Our Troops & Don't Think Or You Won't Feel Safe (which is the point) [posted by Troy] There is a feeling of fear in our country, a feeling of being watched, and a need to spy on your neighbor. It's like 1984 + 20. Here's just a few examples: First, there's the "join or die" thing about supporting the War in Iraq, where it's a crime to even criticize the war. I really enjoyed this piece about Yellow Ribbons from NPR. Then, there's the White House paying journalist to support certain policies. Not quite freedom of the press. Naturally, we can't forget the rise in surveillance cameras across the country. Careful, your opinion may get caught on tape. Then we got the FCC cracking down on the airwaves so that innocent kids don't see evil nipples. It's mindlessCensorship at it's best. It's like it's ok to see a woman's nipple only if we are a new born. Anyone else will go to hell. Thus is the post 9/11 world. The thought police are here to protect us for four more years. 9:42:55 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It!
