IT'S ALL ABOUT US

   A healthy regard for one's own interests is a healthy thing but a total disregard for the rights of others is the mindset for criminality.
So it is with the latest botched act of terrorism, ie. effort to take down a United States aircraft with a suicide commando.  

   Ironically the apparent perpetrator looks quite personable and seems to have been quite outgoing.  He looks about as dangerous as a puppy dog.

   Once again the United States is in a hullabaloo.  It is still unimaginable to many Americans that Americans can and will be killed by their opponents when there is a war.
That is the way war is.

    Obama started up a war in Yemen without so much as a hello to the American people and then I guess this bumbler was the response of AQ over there.  Now we are all supposed to be searched like prisoners to fly anywhere.  I think the bungler somehow succeeded.

   I guess I will really have to think about flying again.  I don't want a permanent file of my nude body, or many such hideous and embarassing images, stored in some federal, corporate or international database. 

   With tens of thousands of auto deaths a year and far higher numbers of deaths from bad habits the American people are rather irrational to emphasize the taking down of an airplane or two every few years to such an extent that we destroy all of our civil liberties and the aircraft industry as well.  


    As far as homeland security has been concerned the super department has been one of the biggest bureaucratic extravaganzas in history and as the Nigerian shoe bomber shows has done nothing to prevent some acts of terror from succeeding or almost succeeding.  Yet our Bill of Rights has been largely nullified and untold billions are being spent to push papers and tap every phone on earth. 


It seems that idiots will always run the United States. See your nude body on the internet, what was your flight number?
