But I am also partial to your ballpoint musings. Gotta love a stick figure that wields an axe.

Really good write-ups on the NDAA situation. I don't disagree with your urgency and pointing while hopping up and down at the severity of the "What is a terrorist" matter.

I get that you are angry and concerned. I am angry and scared.

But in essence "we the people" are guilty of what transpired with the NDAA. Between being sheeple and the fear-mongers and the apathy and complacency.

It is no shock to me we are in the era of the corporation as an individual citizen, with the power/resources equal to a country dynamic is upon us.

It is also clear as a bell that US Americans understand things in small tiny bits:

me + minuscule threat to something i want + facebook, twitter et al in danger + cutting me off to post 98 pictures of me and my cat, my voice and what I want = DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!

Vs

Terrorist + politicians + huh? + Terrorist + TERRORIST DIE! + Arabs, right? + Enemies, right? + That has nothing to do with me + virtually no mass media hot button coverage + the average person couldn't even spell Guantanamo, let alone know where it is + Gosh! Starbucks increase its price by 10cents + oooooh American Idol is on!

I suppose I am seeing you a little as the guy in Time Square with "the end is nigh" sign. It feels a little to me like being angry that the ocean is wet. Maybe I am the wrong one here. I feel like things in the USA will become a lot worse. I know it, I can feel it in my bones.

And then here we are, again the only two people talking about the issue we both already agree is sick and dangerous.

I suppose I at least hope they but is near each other in a cell at Guantanamo, I hear it's lovely this time of year :/ .
