Reply #2: So what should we do?

[notadmblnd]

Should we build walls around everything? Move Underground? Personaly I don't think there are many measures that we could take that would ever make us safe or even safer. Oh, putting up fences, walls and barriers. Building our homes underground or lining our rooms with duct tape and plastic might give us a little warm fuzzy feeling for a while. But if you just stop and think about it, none of the measures anyone takes is going to stop someone who really wants to do harm.

Take Isreal for example. They're building about a 20 foot wall between them and the Palistinians with ditches dug on both sides to keep their terrorist out. But dang it, those pesky little suicide bombers keep sneaking on their buses and killing thousands annually.

It really bothers me that our "leaders" (politicians, judges, laywers and corporate execs) in this country worship the dollar. That they're willing to lie and sneak and cheat and kill to get their hands on it.

They make their little wars so they can siphone off more from the taxpayers of this country and shove in their pockets. They laugh their butts off all the way to the bank. But its never enough, so we all get to pay for it. Our children get to die, we get to go to the unemployment line, bankruptcy court and finally into the streets.

We've gone to war in two countries in two years. The reasons we were told we were going to war (Osama and Saddam) are still running loose. Most of the rest of the world now hate us but there have not been any more acts of terrorism commited on US soil. I dont think its because our government has suddenly got good at preventing them.

Our government likes to keep us frightened with threats because when we are afraid it's easier for them to commit their crimes in our names. Their excuse then can be "we had to save the people from the evildoers." So there's always going to be "evildoers" one right after the other Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, then who? Syria, Egypt. We'll never be safe. They don't want us to be.
