For a lot of us it isn't safe to take a walk through our own neighborhood any more simply for the lawlessness that has become to be the norm.

Sorry, was a response to this:
On page 360, between lines 21 and 22, insert the following:
(e) Applicability to Citizens.--The authority described in this section for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain a person does not include the authority to detain a citizen of the United States without trial until the end of the hostilities.

This bill better not pass.

I could be sipping a Mai-Tai in Costa Rica or smelling the odors of local life in Fiji or Tonga. I would certainly fall out of my chair with laughter and amusement.
Expanding the enemy combatant definition to cover pretty much ANYONE they decide they don't like was a logical extension of what started after 9/11.
What was the reaction back then when those of us went hoarse yelling warnings? Oh... Ridicule and Derision. The U.S. would never do such things....

There is very little cause to be proud to be an American any more. We're Amerikan's. I'm wondering exactly when did we take this turn?

I'd laugh about this as being hysterically funny but for the fact I live here too and so it loses all humor real quick. If only I could be sipping a Mai-Tai in Costa Rica or smelling the odors of local life in Fiji or Tonga. I would certainly fall out of my chair with laughter and amusement.

The temperature is slowly rising and this frog is noticing bubbles now. Soon we will reach the "boiling point" (tipping point or point of no return) where we will witness a "quickening" and even if the heat stops at that point the mixture will have been "fundamentally transformed".....it will be too late as you cant turn the oatmeal back to oats. That is there goal: to take millions of individual grains (of oats); roll them (destroying capital and making us all approximately the same and dependent on the government) and then boil those individual rolled grains and transform them into one homogeneous and gelatineous glob (like oatmeal). Welcome to the NWO.
