| 91. They can see sanitary napkins which believe it or not, some |
|
women do wear.
This is disgusting anyhow, to even be talking about such an invasion of people's dignity, rights and freedoms in the context of it being instituted by our own government. Who are the terrorists again?
It's at the point where I and many others are more afraid of the Government than of the remote chance of dying in a terror attack. This has finally gone way too far and I am very pleased to see that the people are gathering their considerable resources to start ending these abuses.
Is feeling safe from the miniscule risk of dying by terror really worth these abhorrences to some people? It's hard to believe, considering most people are much more in danger of death just by getting into their cars every day.
Goehring was right, instilling irrational fear into the population gives immense power to the state, assuming you have a cowardly enough population to fall for it.
