Entry: A Response to John Ross Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_response_to_john_ross#8633 Post contents: You have hit it on the head with your identification of the false debate that takes place between the so called left and the so called right. REeally the far left and the further left. You can fill in either side with either group. When the neo-cons push through a legislation titled the Patriot Act that should have been the wake up call to any real conservatives left in the Republican Party. The state now has shown it's true colors and it's biggest fear is the citizens themselves. We are now to be id'd tagged and bagged if they have their way. If they take the internet away from us the movement may in fact be forced to go underground, forced to meet in person and correspond by hand delivered notes. The time may not be far off when the computer chips are planted in us at birth. What do we see in the face of all this? I look around and what I see more than anything is contentment. People are adaptable and anything no matter how outrageous can be made to seem acceptable to them so long as they don't have to disturb their daily routine. Most people are so harried by modern life that they have little time or inclination to finding out exactly what is wrong with the system. Why do both our major political parties agree on the most ridiculous things? Don't know. Can't worry about it now. Got to get the kids to soccer practice. Put another $40 in gas on the credit card. Meanwhile the updated and amended version of the Patriot Act just went through and you have lost another freedom that was taken for granted. Sent at: 2008 09 06
