Look - this is the country that broke off from a mighty empire, nearly detroyed itself in a bloody civil war, abolished slavery, fought and won two world wars, defeated the Soviet Empire.
And NOW a bunch of dudes with box cutters killing a few thousand people is the rationale for us to cower and let the gub-o-mint tell us what to do. I don't think so.
On Sept. 13th, 2001 I got a "Don't Tread on Me" tattoo with the snake. My personal message to the terrorists AND the US government to not try and do all kinds of sneaky shit to "gaurantee security" while taking away liberty, Bastards are doing it anyway. I love the way some beurocrat just said that the hundreds of millions spent on airport security is no good and we have to allocate more funds to do it right again.
This country is powerful and great - yet this stupid ass government has us thinking "fear" all the time. They have zero faith in te power of the american citizen - therefore they don't understand even the most fundamental principles that the whole US experiment is about.
This is a power grab, and damn if they might just not pull it off this time.
