"When Cold Warriors Rule, You Wind Up With The Equivalent of a Cold War!"
Okay, it wasn't enough that they tuned in my emails; it wasn't enough that they listened to me talking to my grand-kids and saying some pretty unintelligible things and it wasn't enough that they blocked my emails, lost my messages in the electronic ether, checked out my bills and disseminated my personal information to those who have no business knowing about my personal life, now they have truly gotten me mad. they are looking into my bank account!
What is going on here?
It is clear that Madison, Washington, Adams and the rest of the crowd would be totally pissed off if they knew what was going on here. I mean England might have been demanding with those taxes and all that but, hey, they didn't get into my correspondence, my banking, my conversations.
Where does this end?
Or does it go on until we find our collective backbones.... We need to set the record straight and we need to do it now. We have to remind all of our public officials and those who would willingly poke into my background and the backgrounds of my friends that we are a democracy that is founded on things like the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
These are not just a set of ordinary papers; these are papers that many of our heroes died defending. My dad spent four years in the service of his country to protect its documents; I spent another four years doing the same thing...as did my relatives and friends. I don't know how many died that I knew standing up for these documents that have formed our government and our way of life. And now they are being jetisoned for convenience.
First things first. We need to return to the rule of law. And we need to let our representatives know how we feel!
If we don't, they will believe that we are not interested enough in protecting our way of life.
The excuse about terrorism has gone far enough. 18 men have changed our democracy into a tyranny and as a result, bin Laden has won!
Shame on us!
