ADVERTISEMENTS

So, I haven't written in a while about how America is slowly going downhill. I have felt a lot better since I got to shake my fist at Bush's helicopter last January. But this latest absurdity over airport security is just nuts. Has everyone in this country just lost his balls? No matter what the government tells us they need to do to keep us 'safe', we do. No books in our laps. No blanket. Stand in line for 8 hours. Be humiliated and degraded. And yet the most basic forms of intelligence are ignored. The last time I flew I had to discard a brand new tube of toothpaste. But you can fly one way, paying in cash, to Detroit with no luggage. Argh! I just read an article at http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/744199--the-israelification-of-airports-high-security-little-bother . Makes a lot of sense. Americans just need to step up. Demand better. If necessary, start making examples of people. This latest guy, for example. Give him a trial in civilian courts. Spare no expense in his defense. None. And if he is found guilty strap him to a pole in Times Square and have a firing squad take care of him. On camera. Announce to the world that Americans will not cower in fear. Americans won't change their life for every failed terrorist plot. Announce a new policy: every convicted terrorist will be executed. His wife and children too. Their friends. Everyone he has ever known will be put against a wall and shot. There will be no more negotiation. No more changes to the American way of life. Radical? Yes. But so was taking my goddamned toothpast away in Kotzebue.
