Homegrown terrorists. I wonder. My first reaction to the fact that those arrested were mostly Canadian citizens was anger. Especially since all their names sounded like they were of Arab origin. But then I wondered. My parents, as young people in rural communities in the 1930s, acted out by moving outhouses and such. We've all seen how youth protest has escalated, up to deaths in demonstrations at WTO conferences. How likely is it that Bin Laden is organizing in Kingston? Doesn't it make more sense that pissed off, disaffected young f#$ks are doing what they've always done, but in the contemporary context? Is it Islamic extremism? Or is it disaffected kids, who have always been part of our society, but who now think that suicide bombing is to 2006 what outhouse tipping was to 1936? Could it be that there's just been a remarkable degretation of society? That the f*(k you that kids have always done has been conditioned by the suicide bombers of Palestine, Iraq, etc., and is now coming here?
