"We need to start differentiating between targeting real terrorists and terrorizing random targets. This is no way to win a war." -- Dahlia Lithwick, Slate, 2004-05-12

Amen to that.

We know there's a reason I don't fly anymore. I'm more frightened of my government's notion of security than I am of terrorists.

I will cheerfully take out terrorists if my government will permit me some kind of meager "weapon". I like a dinky Swiss Army knife. It lives in my purse and has scissors.

I just want me and dog get where we're going. And that I can get pretty mean when crossed. I might die trying, but I love my country, and liberty, even if I despise the administration.

I want to fly me and my doggie to Arizona, but am afraid. I got in trouble for my hairband . And that was in 2000. I have a good imagination as to the trouble I'd get into now. Just not going there.

I have no idea who it was who said that or in what context (yes, I know the name is there, I'm in the UK so I'm clueless about the reality of who that is) but I have to say its a sentiment I find refreshing. And its well put. I just thought I would say I am in total agreement with it.

S_C and I have compared purses. We're definitely terrorists. He repairs his bicycle. I open boxes, file my nails, and trim threads. We're so dangerous we're dumbfounded. I burst into tears at patriotic tunes, but that doesn't count.
