I think I am just sick of hearing about Peace in the Middle East that will be won by war. How does anyone in their right mind figure death and destruction are precursors to tranquility, other than by occupation and oppression?
And I absolutely cannot express how disgusted I am by the airlines and airport security. I know it isn't right to wish evil upon anyone, but they are so deserving of the bankruptcies and losses that they are experiencing. There is no business in the world that treats its customers like airline passengers get treated and stay in business, with the possible exception of doctors. And just how safe are we now that Airport Security is killing sick people, and talk radio blames the victim.
Don't kid yourself. This is about controlling us, not fighting terrorism, and they are going to control us with fear and authority. Anyone that would dare speak out against the present regime (I mean administration) regarding the Middle East is assumed to have links to alQaida, and should fear the label of enemy combatant. I, personally, don't think disagreeing with this madness necessitates or proves alliance with a terrorist organization. I, personally, think it simply demonstrates discernment, which is horribly lacking in the supporters of the present administration.
Now, on to the airports. They are delaying, detaining, and killing American citizens, all for the presumed propaganda of safety, and lets not forget about the new dress codes that are being enforced to fly the unfriendly skies. Remember when the term stewardess was synonymous with sex symbol? I think with age and weight discrimination issues, it's just a matter of certain people with some assumed authority, perhaps having issues! Let's face it, some of the modern flight attendants are no match for a Hooter's waitress. But that is mere trivia compared to the fact that two people that we are aware of, have actually be killed in the name of airport security, and both of those people apparently had health issues. It's enough of a travesty that some coroner is willing to put his name and professional reputation on the line to say the cause of death was inconclusive, but there were signs of struggle, in the last case. If that were any other type of case, "signs of struggle" would be presursor to filing some sort of manslaughter or murder charges. I just don't know of too many doctors, undertakers, or politicians that admit to "not knowing" something they were contracted to determine. So what gives? And how long do we tolerate this insanity.
George W. Bush's Road Map to Peace will not bring peace to the Middle East. Regardless of what his followers believe, George W. Bush is not the Messiah.
And the airlines, that are now exercising their assumed authority over weary travelers may just find themselves to be at the mercy of the government that keeps bailing them out. Then they will find themselves dealing with what we have had to endure, dealing with them.
I just truly hope that very soon Americans will realize, there is no reason for more Americans to die for peace and safety.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them . . . New Testament
