Don't forget all those who work for the US Postal Service. Up until a few years ago, the term "going postal" meant you were sending via priority mail. I'm all for security but I'll be damned if I am going to support a fascist regime.

Granted that there are many destructive evils going on in our world, but my "rhetoric" was not about those. Never once did I bring up the attack on the Federal Building or Tim McVeigh. I didn't say anything about the drug trade. It would have been completely inappropriate to bring up irresponsible intoxication, gun owners, intoxicated gun owners, parents, dog owners, employers and their safety records or any other irresponsibility. No, I addressed only one conflict with our security; only one enemy in our midst; only one evil that has no objective other than that of our destruction. That was the scope of my "rhetoric." To include the rest of the evils in the world would have been too broad a scope for a bulletin board post. Why the red herring? Is it the profiling issue? These are not normal times! We are under siege from a secretive cellular network of Suicidal Human Instant Terror Foot Missiles from Hell (SHITFM Hell). Only a dumb white bureaucracy- would continue to force every tenth person into a thorough inspection of their belongings, completely ignoring the established FACT that the perpetrators, should they appear, would only be of Arabic Muslim descent. The foolishness in this is only compounded by the gravity of the situation. The cost of a mistake is countless lives lost, destruction of property, and failure of businesses and commerce! Sorry if a little thing like profiling causes only one ethnic group discomfort. After all, I'm not advocating anything other than that the Arabic Muslims understand and cooperate with the authorities. Are you trying to trivialize my concerns by blurring the context of the argument? Do you not realize that this organization has trained thousands of men for their terrorist objectives? The freedom from special scrutiny due to profiling will mean very little to us if we allow these hostiles to murder our loved ones, destroy our economy and take over. Look at it this way, Dale. Cultural diversity can work for us as well as against us. If Tim McVeigh had been part of a REAL terrorist underground movement of ALL WHITE dudes bent on destroying lives and property, and bringing down the United States, the security police would be VERY foolish wasting their time going through the luggage of devout Arabic Muslims. We can get back to our comforts when our world is safe from these dudes. HerbVic
