Man America is supposed to be the land of the free. At the moment I live across the road from my work (you can even see it from my window), but today I wasn't even allowed to cross the road between my house and my work cos President Bush is giving a talk at the community hall next door! I can understand why they would have extra security, but just to get across the road to my place, I have to walk over 6km in the rain because theres a military lock-down for the entire area with cops & military & guard dogs EVERYWHERE in the suburb! There's even military commands being yelled out over big horn-speakers, its just like worst parts of Iran!
But I can sorta understand the paranoia today cos basically everyone here I know owns a large gun and it is the President. What I can't understand is what happened last week, when someone went to jail for wearing a terrorist costume on Halloween!! I thought the whole point of Halloween was to dress up to be scary, but now there's even laws about how to dress up on Halloween! It just happens that I was planning on dressing up as a terrorist on Halloween too, so its REALLY lucky I didn't cos I would have got fucked over a lot more than the U.S. citizen that got arrested for it!
Ignoring whats happening overseas, how can a government win a "War on Terrorism" when they're even terrorising their own citizens?
