Singling out people as terrorists because they posess an almanac,
then investigating or detaining them, using racial profiling, sounds rediculas,
because it goes against our basic freedom & democracy constitutional rights.
So our government would never do that. But they do.
It kinda comes down to a matter of trust.
Do I trust the government to be reasonable & fair seems to be the question.
Trust is a bad thing.
The best relationships arn't based on trust, their based on honesty.
Honesty is how one gets the trust of others, which you then never abuse.
Honesty is not a tool to get that trust. Trust is not the goal of fair person.
Our government is not honest with us. (Iraq WMD is an example.)
But using the modern media, lying can also get trust from individuals,
via repeat ad's (brain washing/programming), then that trust is abused for gain.
What I have personally seen about our governments conduct shows that
our government is not honest & can't be trusted.
They no longer represent reasonable & fair people,
they use their power to represent themselves.
It's taxation with out representation.
Gays arn't represented, pot smokers arn't, and it even goes down to people with almanac's now.
The Idea of: do what ever it takes to avert another terrorist attack in USA,
costs us more than another terrorist attack would.
The "WHAT EVER" part goes into infinitum.
And, "I'M NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP MY FREEDOM TO BE FREE"
