Remember that the next few days during the media frenzy, if you must watch. I would recommend you don’t. And I refuse to give up another right to prevent another “Boston,” but you know there will be calls to “do something.” We still take our god damned shoes off at airports because of a failed attempt. Lord only knows what is going to come down the pipeline now. The only thing we “need” to do is find the perpetrators, try them, convict them, and jail them for the rest of our lives as we go on with ours, and I have full faith that our collected government agencies can do this.
The bomber(s) isn’t the only one who wants you to be afraid. Remember that.
This is John at his best. He is just so damn much better at letting out a righteous rant than I. And everything he says is exactly what I think.
Like him I am tired of our country reacting out of fear. We are not a nation of cowards, yet since September 11th, 2001 that is exactly how we have reacted. And because of that fear devious men have manipulated the enacting of laws that hinder our freedom and re-distribute money to the already rich and powerful while failing to actually protect us from terrorists – both domestic and abroad.
And to those of you who are clutching your pearls and pulling your hair, demanding that “something be done” and telling us that “sacrifice is the price for freedom.” Fuck you. Go wet your own goddamn bed and stop showing us all your cowardice.
