Insurgents foreign and domestic are after the Oligarchy. Some of us are forced to defend them and their property as an employment. Others are only human shields. If we had an egalitarian society without ambitions of empire this problem would rapidly abate.

The Fukushima disaster is far worse for Japan than any terrorist attack that might be imagined. Profitable technology unsafeguarded is a far greater threat than the insurgent crimes called terrorism. In fact, what Martin Luther King said in 1967 still holds true: Our U.S. government under corporate dominance remains the world's largest instigator of violence, and we pay for it in several ways.

What a name.

He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither. Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.

The Patriot act was the worst affront to freedom in the U.S...far worst than any 'terrorist' act could ever accomplish...
I contend, the terrorist we should fear are living in our own backyard as U.S. Government agents.
