33. Are you willing?
Are you really so willing to give up your Constitutional rights, in a slow drip, where these things will also be implemented in many other public spaces (already happening) because you are SCARED!!

I say, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

Knock my damn plane out of the sky, if that's what has got to happen. Let U.S. fighter jets shoot me down, if I'm going to head into a public building. Heck, you could get run over while crossing the street too. So, let's ban cars while we're at it.

Really. The hysteria has got to stop, or we will never be a productive, sane, sound-thinking, principle-holding nation again.

Look at it this way. With this level of terror, in the human hearts of U.S. citizens, to where they give up their Constitutional rights and spend insane amounts of money on foreign wars, you could say that the terrorists have already won.

We cannot, and will never be able to, stop every last risk of getting on a plane. But we can stand up for our rights, our freedoms, our way of life, and our principles.
