It isn't about security. It's about control.
Amerikans had the opportunity to send a message today. Amerikans had the opportunity to tell those who would control us that enough is enough.
The opportunity passed. Amerikans failed.
The NFL stadiums were full.
The message sent was the wrong one. The message that was sent was that Amerikans will accept their privacy being invaded, they will accept personal humiliation and the humiliation of their families, they will accept the hands of a stranger touching their bodies and the bodies of their family members for no reason other than control, as long as they can get into the stadium to watch the game.
Believe me when I say "People were watching".
Amerikans will allow any perversion against their freedom as long as no one disturbs the status quo.
You're pathetic.
Because you have voluntarily allowed this, the intrusions will increase. By the time you realize what you have allowed, it will be too late. It's already too late.
You're pathetic.
It's all about control.
Yup.
ReplyDeleteI posted this a while back, but fits in well here.
"Political tags, such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth, are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire."

People will do anything for their "bread and circuses."
ReplyDeleteBrock.... That's exactly correct.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne.... That's the truth. Weird, eh? ;)
Give the people a circus and they will submit to anythig. So thought the Romans and we know how that turned out.
ReplyDeleteJim.... I don't know why people continue to try to do things that they know cannot possibly succeed.
