147. TWO - one more story - I met this young Russian couple -
she's a physical therapist and he's an apartment manager. He drives a Hummer by the way. They are quite young, probably still in their 20's.

I talk to people and they like to talk to me.

She tells me that they want to leave America (I'm not sure they are citizens) because this country is not the same, it has changed so much. They're only here five years.

Isn't that an irony.

I'm reminded of the stories the refugees from Germany tell. Fascism came upon them day by day, freedoms were taken away, and it happened so quickly and yet slowly that they really didnt fully realize what was happening until it was too late.

That's the Americans. Sitting and letting it happen.

And by the time they wake up, Blackwater will be back in America... patrolling the streets. They've already made contracts with some cities. America's version of the SS, 160,000 coming back from Iraq.
