Ack! Here I go again with my blogs. I’ve been reading the latest news on current events and see cures to the fear-mongers woes. They are signing our ‘freedom’ away every chance they got with whatever little time they have left on this planet. Most of these have occurred mostly around today.
Let’s see. Credit agencies are being monitored. Does this mean small businesses would not get a chance to compete with the bigger bullies? Does this signal the end of lending and borrowing and the chance to stop the poor folks from going further into debt or having some form of ‘cash’?
Let’s see. Ports are being strengthened. This seems all too nice but shouldn’t the rail system and mass transit have been part of this passage? I’d like to take the BART transit system once in awhile to Frisco or my local VTA buses to local destinations and at least feel safe to ride in one of the public transportation other than my own vehicle.
Let’s see. Wiretapping is being allowed without court warrant. Does this mean I cannot call my poverty stricken relatives residing in the Philippines to find out who is left alive without due fear from hearing clicking noises during the conversation? What if I want to send (freely and without checking every grammar or spelling) my e-mails to poor friends residing elsewhere on this planet as a more inexpensive means of keeping in touch with each other?
Let’s see. Military tribunals are being supported. Does this mean, if one family member is suspected of being a ‘tear-roar,’ would everyone else closely related or remotely associated from innocent children to fragile elders (mind you) will be dragged into court without proper representation and possibly tortured by any means to obtain vital data and jailed for life without seeing the sun?
Let’s see. A 700 mile border fence is being erected. Does this mean more free time for the already debt-ridden Americanized citizens, whose jobs are being ‘exported’ to China, for example, and not so much being taken away by the Hispanic community? This imagery reminds me of a big bandage over a wound.
Oh, come on! The above mentioned efforts are at best futile because this could mean the end of our freedom. These silent treatments are symbolized by blind folds over our eyes, duct tapes over our mouths and ear plugs in our ears.
Imagine if our fellow journalists, reporters, investigators, writers and bloggers are silenced forever. The messengers may disappear but the message to be free responsibly would remain forever and ever and ever and ever…
P.S. Ah! I hear the defenders of truth hovering in their copter over our neighborhood and my house around 12:00AM midnight and a few minutes… What’s going on this time, eh?
