I think we should draw the line between American citizens and illegal or
quasi-legal immigrants. Terrorists have exhibited a lot of patience, but
they don't seem to have what it takes to become American citizens, and in
my mind, that is one very definite distinction between Kory's idea of
"average" and the ones we need to be looking out for. I realize this is
not exactly a politically correct sentiment, but dammit, I am exasperated
at a lot of this so-called security that does nothing to prevent these
creeps from taking advantage of our freedoms but inconveniences the heck
outta me. Here's an example. The airline "security" poked holes in my
new, full, sealed bag of cat litter in the midst of my suitcase last
weekend. It was soooo much fun sweeping and cleaning it all up as I
unpacked in Ohio!
