I urge every American to get a copy of PATRIOT Acts 1 & 2 and read them. The Acts are available online doing a Google search- I have a copy here if anyone wants to email for one.
While the World Trade Center buildings burned- some of us were asking even then how many freedoms this act of terrorism would cost us.
If you read the results of 9-11 that were the PATRIOT Acts- you might wonder who was being "punished"- the American citizens or terrorists.
The government now decides if you are "an enemy combatant" or not. The way the Acts are written- you can be labelled an "enemy" simply by exercising your American right of say- protest.
Let's say you and your family are away for the weekend. Were you aware that law enforcement can now- without a warrant- enter your residence or business and "look around?"
These are just some of the provisions in the PATRIOT Acts that makes me wonder who the "PATRIOTS" really are.
I won't even mention how- with tacit government approval- corporations are moving well-paying jobs HERE to lower-paying labor elsewhere. We're becoming the UCSA - the United Corporate States of America.
Not even half of Americans eligible to do so bother to vote. Americans seems to shrug off corporate gougings- high gas prices for example- complaining but really- doing nothing about it.
The present government is involved in secret prisons and mis-truths and flat-out lies. Yet STILL a third of Americans are so blind- 32% STILL think Bush is doing a "good job."
You-all have a great time partying today. Go- celebrate what once was.
I'll be in mourning again- for Independence Days lost forever....
