"2006", a Novel by Orson Wells?
Go Google! "Child Protection" my big left buttock! Hmmm...now why in the world would the US gvt. want to subpoena the searches of millions of Americans? Duh!! As if being spotlighted on the eavesdropping issue wasn't enough, Bush has decided that he will not only listen in on private conversations, but will also try to figure out if people are tied to al-Qaida through online searches, and he doesn't seem to care how many constitutional rights he violates or who he pisses off. (I really don't see any need for the FEDS to view the many sites that I've been perusing about how to fold origami cranes.) Oh, but if we type in the words "Osama" or "Laden" we might be investigated as terrorists. What if we just wanted to KNOW something. Maybe that's it. Maybe we are no longer free to LEARN, or to EDUCATE ourselves against a tyrannical dictatorship.
What about the innocent ones? Do you realize that when I first met my husband, his English wasn't as good as it is now, and he would frequently get the words "tourist" and "terrorist" mixed up in conversation. But then, he did the same thing with "chicken" and "kitchen". However, if he had spoken to the wrong person, or had one of Big Brother's Posse listening in on the other end of one of his phone conversations at the right moment when he was talking about working "in the Hotel and Terrorism Industry", he would, at this very moment, be fighting force-feeding tubes at Gitmo!
I am proud to be a Muslim, and I don't care what our Government tries to do to stop Islam. I won't change. They have painted a twisted portrait of my religion to the United States in order to justify an unjustifiable war in which many of our brave, unsuspecting soldiers have been mercilessly murdered, not by Iraqis, but by their own government, and in which many innocent women and children of Iraqi origin have been slain. I have to wonder what a small child does to piss off a "great" leader such as George W?
