chip, chip, chip ........It's amazing that as the authorities keep chipping away at civil liberties and rights and freedom of movement, how much we're willing to tolerate.People say 'well, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear'My answer, wake the fcuk up!! If you think your govt is protecting you, especially this Bush administration, then you are very much mistaken. God, now my blood is boiling and I want to rant.You Americans are now so violated by your government, you don't know which way is up and which is down. Phone tapping, privacy intrusion ........... all in the name of protecting you. Riiiiiiiiiight!!Protection from whom? Surely not Bin Laden ........... who, by the way, has fallen off the gaydar. The 9/11 conspiracy theories seem to hold some credibility.As long as American foreign policy continues with its imperialism and empire building, things are only going to get worse ........... not better. The world is now a lot more dangerous thanks to the Bush family and cronies ..... good job you don't have the chance to vote an illegal president for a third term. So, change your political system and only allow people that prove themselves to be able to speak and talk (maybe even both at he same time), are able to govern intelligently and that have held a passport for more than 10 years and have actually travelled abroad and seen some of the world .... and a brain might be nice.There's an expression in Texas, kid me once ........... fool me never .............. kid me all the time ......... kid me never, no more ......... (does anyone know what that saying is as I've only heard The President of the most powerful country in the world say it ........... or not as the case may be)Don't worry, I'm not anti American (I actually have family over there)......... I'm very anti current American politics and American foreign policy ......... policies of paranoia. But one thing that gets me is that it seems no one over there can see through it. Impeach a guy for shagging his secretary but the guy that illegally invades another country ............. we won't do anything.Don't worry, I'm just as scathing of the UK, especially Tony's man crush on George. but that's another rant.These ramblings are my own and may not be based on reality ;)Have got my digg down pants on!!
@ Trizz and washingtonydcThe same thing happens here in Los Angeles: there is a "Ronald Reagan Freeway" but nobody calls it that. We just call it "the 118 freeway" and people still get confused when they hear Reagan Freeway on the traffic reports... :)
"On the contrary--this woman knew her rights and knew she was detained against her will. But she had no recourse. What can you do when you are being threatened by gorilla bafoons!?"Simple, take a deep breath and call your lawyer.
