what you wrote, what you took a picture of, what you downloaded...

It seems the government now wants to take a look into your laptop, iPod, flash drive, etc... any electronic storage device...because they can... and will.... without a warrant... without just cause... without needing to explain to you why.

All this in the name of 'national security. If you cross a border, you might not see the device for a while, because they want to look at everything, look at your  vacation pictures, check your emails, harvest your passwords and logins, check any financial records, read your journals, and make sure you are a loyal subject of 'King' George (Bush). 

You want to be on a watch list? Want to be subject to being labeled an enemy combatant? Better hope you don't have an electronic copy of one of Che Guevara's books, or a quote from Chairman Mao. or that illegal download...

My laptop would have to be reformatted and maybe a new drive installed before I cross a border, too much stuff ...

the war with Iran..

The war is real and happening as I write this...

It seems we are determined to overthrow the theocracy just as we overthrew the democracy of Mosadek and installed the Shah. We don't car how many die, we just want to win.

stupidity...

Offshore drilling isn't going to solve the current crisis. Any member of the public who thinks it will inffluence the price of a gallon of gas has their head in the sand. Of course politics can influence the cost of gasoline, remeber how gas got cheaper just before the last election? It was just some Arabs doing their best to elect another 'oil man' in the Whiehouse.

Will the offshore drilling issue sink Obama? Maybe, as the majority of the dumb electorate will buy McBush's arguement. 

hijacked holidays...

I wonder if we will celebrate on 9/11? Hey, we don't think much of 12/7 anymore. Has anyone ever wondered why we were attacked? Why was Bin Laden so pissed off? 

As for 12/7, I'll remember. As for 9/11, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth after it was hijacked by a cowboy from Texas and became a war cry for the sunshine patriots and neocons.

When will we ever learn...violence begets violence.
