I have a dream....
That one day we will all be locked indoors, behind bars and bullet proof glass, shielded by Kevlar vests and jackets protected by highly trained security guards carrying the latest Glock and Colt automatic weapons.

We will soon be free in the green zone of our own making.

1. Consider the Paranoid Fundies Who Already Live This Way
and think it's good.

2. There should be safety. This should have never happened.

5. There is no such thing as safety and security. No on gets out alive, the lucky
ones just get to be here longer than the unlucky ones, and even that isn't always true.

If we really wanted safety, we would outlaw private autos. Think about it.

7. yes it is....but how far from reality is it...?
Not far. Lots of money to be made in a new "security", "war on terror" economy.

6. This cannot happen if we just keep in mind
That once there was a man who "had a dream". Once there was a man who said,"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country". Once there was a man who said, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself". I choose to believe that all of these great words live in the hearts of true Americans. We all , working together, must bring these words back into our daily lives.
