Important instructions for speaking the name "Homeland Security" in public. All steps must be performed simultaneously.
1. Stand at rigid attention
2. Click heels together
3. With hand extended flat with palm down, extend arm completely raised to front at 45-degree angle from body
DHS is too broadly reaching and too poorly organized. IIRC, they recently received an "F" or a "D-" in security rating.
Cloaked warrants which prevent even the suspect from knowing why he/she is being investigated. No judges involved. DHS and PATRIOT have trampled all over every citizen's freedoms, liberties, and constitutional rights. It's the McCarthy era all over again, substitue "terrorists" for "communists."
(Conspiracy-theorist food follows :-))
One day after DHS mandates the use of Paladium -- in whatever incarnation it currently does or will exist -- the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, classic Mac, etc. becomes illegal because the system does not allow the spooks to watch and authorize what you do. Amiga users become known as terrorists and family members are encouraged to report family members.
1984, McCarthy, The Running Man (if you have the 2 DVD set, it's worth watching the second DVD,) name your favorite.
I heard an interesting commentary on the radio last week about how Americans have lost their love of freedom, and the government is more than happy to step in and take control of their lives because that's what the people want. OH, and that night I heard a commercial for the Free State Project. hehehehe Good stuff out there.
