Where is the next Terror Attack??
It seems that there is a large amount of talk on the internet, media, about the fact that we have to protect ourselves when we fly because we fear another plane attack. This country has put a lot of money into this protection. Some have stated that TSA has never stopped a terror attack on a plane. The question then needs to be asked is this money well spent and is it worth giving up our rights to gain this false security.

Throughout my life I have been accused of taking sides against someones' rant because I could see more than one side of the argument. Some would call this empathy, I just say that is who I am. That is why I find it easy to think like a terrorist. If I was a terrorist I would not be looking at planes to bring this country down to its knees. I would look at many other things that would effect this country in a much bigger area. I am not going to list these things here to avoid giving anyone any ideas.

We are told we are in a War on Terror. That my be true, but I do not feel that is what this country is actually doing. We are in a war for resources to feed the hungry corporations. If we have to lie and mislead, topple democracies, foreign governments, then the end justifies the means as long as the corporation beast is fed. This government creates more terrorists every day by these actions.

Can this war be won?? NO

When was the last war that we won?? WWII
Korean war?? NO
Vietnam?? NO
First Gulf war?? Maybe
Second Gulf war?? NO
War on Poverty?? NO
War on Racism?? NO
War on Drugs?? NO

As you can see our war record is not very good. Why should this War on Terror be any different?? It will not, because we do not take the time to attack the root cause. We feed the war so we can continue to attack it. Until we reverse course this war be with us until it turns into a World War. We will not like the outcome, because we will be on the wrong side.

If you were to ask me who are the most feared terrorist in the world today, I would tell you it is our military, the private contractors, the CIA, our elected officials, the corporations that have taken over this government, the Supreme Court, the media. I fear these people more than any one trying to kill me or have me live in fear. For that is what terror is, LIVING IN FEAR.

I live in fear of what is happening in this country today. For this reason I would not have any trouble charging these people and organizations as terrorists. I feel that they border on TREASON. There are many that would disagree with me, and that is their right. At the same time I am allowed to feel the way I do.

Until we change the message to a message of tolerance, peace, love, this country will continue the slide into "The Bowels of Hell", as I call it. We are fighting a losing battle until the battle changes.

Here ends my rant for today.

3. I'm a vegehegian so I think the very existence of them in food form is a waste of life. :}
Hey, that's just me. Terrorists hate rib sauce. That's a fact - I heard it somewhere and called into Rush and let him know and FOX reported it as a fact and now all rib sauce will be screened for chemical weapons at the border because terrorists hate rib sauce and since Obama once ate ribs with rib sauce on them he must be a terrorist too. Just look at the facts? BecKKK will explain it on his blackboard for you if you don't get it yet.

4. Dragons are not known for their grazing
We need that spicy sauce to flame the republicans and the christian fundamentalists.
The only trouble is that when flamed they smell like shit, so it is best to do it down wind

5. I don't eat like dragons - I just instruct my pets. They have to eat as they are designed to eat.
Humans are primarily vegetarian but we have traits that allow us to be omnivorous. Dragons, well, they're pretty much just plain carnivorous. So are the dogs and cats. If you keep them as pets you have to accept this as a condition.

7. Dragons do not make good pets
However they are very loyal, they do eat veggies, just that they do need that meat also.
A huge plus for Dragons is that they can fly.

8. Well, they don't all fly, and none of them are good mousers, but they are good "household security".
