Oh brother...what a bother

Doesn't bother me...does it bother you...?

To remove your shoes, belt, and outer coat at Airport Security?

To have a passport to go on cruises now?

That we have secret jails in Europe to house terrorists?

We do electronic surveillance on people who have the goal of hurting us?

That sometimes the answers given to questions is, "because". Sometimes, that is the appropriate answer whether you like it or not.

That we haven't had a President with military experience for 14 years...times change, and it is ok.

Placing my kids in public schools.


Does bother me...how about you?

Illegal immigrants commit 13 murders a day and 12 drunk driving deaths a day in this country.

That African-American relations in this country have gone back to their 1960's attitudes again. Suddenly the victim complex is alive and well again, and apparently there is no end to this thing.

That people think only of themselves in terms of national security, and make petty arguments about being inconvenienced at the airport, et al.

That too many American's feel they are entitled to know the what's and why's of governmental actions and policies.

That September 11th 2001 has become the event many families used to become wealthy; has become some sort of symbol of what is wrong with our country; and has been completely forgotten/ignored as the day some maniacal assholes made history.

That a US Senator from Massachusetts still thinks it is 1966, and he can't figure out how to get beyond that.

That people think it's the responsibility of the schools to raise and discipline their children.

You have - of course - just taken the Conservative/Liberal questionaire. Your answers are your own but I feel the need to tell you - Governmental mind readers have already documented your feelings, and your information is being stored in a vault in a secret mountain in Virgina.

Along with samples from your last blood and urine tests.

By the way - June Hyphen-Hyphen-Hyphen-Smith of Chukamunga, North Dakota? You're pregnant again.
