said by Rogue Wolf:The worst the terrorists can do is kill me. The government can make me disappear, ship me off to some cement cell in a foreign land, and make my life a living hell for years, just because I went to the wrong place or talked to the wrong person and became a "person of interest" to them. Hell, if they want to, they can just kill me outright if they deem me a "threat", no need for messy judicial involvement.
AMEN Brother!! - I'd rather stand up for our constitution and all it means than whimper & curl up in silence like some coward, expecting the government to protect me from all the 'evil terrorists'! (Which they can't stop any more than you or I can. Whether it's a dinosaur outside the cave, the black plague, or someone trying to down a plane, mankind has always faced "terrors" of some kind).
Look around, look at history, and do the research - there are some truly fine people in politics and government service, and there are some money-hungry, power-mongering individuals more evil than ANY gun-toting terrorist in ANY country. I'll take a bullet over tyranny any day. Some people in our government have done a good job of making us all afraid of "the evil terrorists", "the evil aliens", "the evil drugs", "the evil communists", "the evil... " - be MOST afraid of those who always tell you to be afraid, and then get over the fear, and LIVE THIS LIFE, PROUDLY!
